Subject: [PATCH] worktree add: add --lock option

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2017 20:58:05 +0700

As explained in the document. This option has an advantage over the
command sequence "git worktree add && git worktree lock": there will be
no gap that somebody can accidentally "prune" the new worktree (or soon,
explicitly "worktree remove" it).

"worktree add" does keep a lock on while it's preparing the worktree.
If --lock is specified, this lock remains after the worktree is created.

 A patch that adds --lock may look like this.
