completion: list paths and refs for 'git worktree add'

szeder · gitster · commit 7d5ecd775de3 · 2020-01-15T14:06:13.000-08:00
Complete paths after 'git worktree add &lt;TAB&gt;' and refs after 'git
worktree add -b &lt;TAB&gt;' and 'git worktree add some/dir &lt;TAB&gt;'.

Uncharacteristically for a Git command, 'git worktree add' takes a
mandatory path parameter before a commit-ish as its optional last
parameter.  In addition, it has both standalone --options and options
with a mandatory unstuck parameter ('-b &lt;new-branch&gt;').  Consequently,
trying to complete refs for that last optional commit-ish parameter
resulted in a more convoluted than usual completion function, but
hopefully all the included comments will make it not too hard to
digest.
