Unfortunately, this seems to work only in the following case:

  git worktree add path <TAB>

i.e. when the two-be-completed word is still empty.  However,

  git worktree add path m<TAB>

doesn't work anymore, as it lists paths instead of refs.  Furthermore,

  git worktree add --detach path <TAB>
  git worktree add --detach path m<TAB>
  git worktree add -b newbranch path <TAB>

list paths as well.

However, I presume unintentionally,

  git worktree add -b <TAB>

does the right thing and lists refs, but with

  git worktree add -b m<TAB>

we are back at paths instead of refs.  OTOH,

  git worktree add --detach <TAB>
  git worktree add --lock <TAB>

will erroneously list refs.

I wrote a completion function for 'git worktree' a long while ago,
back when it had only two subcommands, which did mostly the right
thing, but I found it too convoluted for serious submission.  Here it
is for inspiration:
