Merge branch 'es/wt-add-detach'

"git worktree add" learns that the "-d" is a synonym to "--detach"
option to create a new worktree without being on a branch.

+In its simplest form, `git worktree add <path>` automatically creates a
+new branch whose name is the final component of `<path>`, which is
+convenient if you plan to work on a new topic. For instance, `git
+worktree add ../hotfix` creates new branch `hotfix` and checks it out at
