worktree: add ability to create worktree with pre-existing branch Currently, we always create a new branch after the new worktree's name when creating a worktree. In some workflows, though, the caller may want to check out an already existing reference instead of creating a new one, which is impossible to do right now. Add a new option `ref` to the options structure for adding worktrees. In case it is set, a branch and not already checked out by another worktree, we will re-use this reference instead of creating a new one.
