Summary
git-worktree-checkoutchecking out branches in detached HEAD mode instead of properly on the branchgit-worktree-clonenot setting up fetch refspec, which prevented upstream tracking from workinggit-worktree-clonenot setting upstream tracking for the default branch after cloneRoot Causes
origin/branchas the checkout ref when a remote branch existed, which Git treats as a commit-ish rather than a branch namegit clone --baredoesn't set upremote.origin.fetch, so upstream tracking commands failrefs/remotes/origin/*), so upstream tracking couldn't be set without fetching firstChanges
checkout.rs: Check if local branch exists first; use it directly or create from remote with proper trackingclone.rs: Set up fetch refspec after bare clone; fetch and set upstream after creating worktreegit.rs: Addedconfig_set()andsetup_fetch_refspec()helper methodsTest plan
