The command "git checkout --to <path>" is something of an anachronism,
encompassing functionality somewhere between "checkout" and "clone".
The introduction of the git-worktree command, however, provides a proper
and intuitive place to house such functionality. Consequently,
re-implement "git checkout --to" as "git worktree new".

As a side-effect, linked worktree creation becomes much more
discoverable with its own dedicated command, whereas `--to` was easily
overlooked amid the plethora of options recognized by git-checkout.

I've long felt that Duy's linked-worktree functionality was a bit oddly
named as "git checkout --to", but, since I could never come up with a
better name, I never made mention of it. However, with Duy's
introduction of the git-worktree command[1], we now have a much more
appropriate and discoverable place to house the "git checkout --to"
functionality, and upon seeing his patch, I was ready to reply with the
suggestion to relocate "git checkout --to" to "git worktree new",
however, Junio beat me to it[2]. So, in response, this patch does
exactly that. It applies atop [1].

This is primarily a code and documentation relocation patch, with minor
new code added to builtin/worktree.c. Specifically:

* git-checkout.txt:"--to" description moved to git-worktree.txt:"new".

* git-checkout.txt:"MULTIPLE WORKING TREES" moved to
  git-worktree.txt:"DESCRIPTION", with "checkout --to" replaced by
  "worktree new" as necessary. git-worktree.txt could probably use a bit
  of reorganization, but that can be done as a separate patch.

* builtin/checkout.c:remove_junk() and remove_junk_on_signal() moved
  verbatim to builtin/worktree.c.

* builtin/checkout.c:prepare_linked_checkout() moved to
  builtin/worktree.c:new_worktree() nearly verbatim. The following small
  changes were needed (which might possibly be better done as separate
  preparatory patches):

  - The "no branch specified" check was dropped since git-worktree lacks
    the machinery for parsing git-checkout command-line arguments, and
    thus simply doesn't know if a branch/ref was provided, or in what
    form.  I'm not sure yet how to replace this check.

  - checkout.c:prepare_linked_checkout() (temporarily) fakes up a HEAD
    ref with a valid object-id in the new worktree to pacify
    is_git_directory(). It does so using the branch/ref from the
    command-line which it already resolved. worktree.c, however, doesn't
    have access to this information, so I instead added code to resolve
    and use HEAD for the fakement.

  - The "Enter %s (identifier %s)" message is suppressed in checkout.c
    if --quiet is specified, however, worktree.c does not have a --quiet
    option, so the message is printed unconditionally.

  - argv[] for the sub git-checkout invocation is hand-crafted in
    worktree.c rather than merely being re-used from the original "git
    checkout --to" as it was in checkout.c.

* builtin/worktree.c:new() is new. It recognizes a --force option ("git
  worktree new --force <path> <branch>") which allows a branch to be
  checked out in a new worktree even if already checked out in some
  other worktree (thus, mirroring the functionality of "git checkout
  --ignore-other-worktrees").

* t2025-checkout-to.sh became t2025-worktree-new.sh. I'm not sure if the
  test number still makes sense or if it should be changed, however, it
  resides alongside its t2026-prune-linked-checkouts.sh counterpart.

 DESCRIPTION

+Manage multiple worktrees attached to the same repository.
+
+A git repository can support multiple working trees, allowing you to check
+out more than one branch at a time.  With `git worktree new` a new working
+tree is associated with the repository.  This new working tree is called a
+"linked working tree" as opposed to the "main working tree" prepared by "git
+init" or "git clone".  A repository has one main working tree (if it's not a
+bare repository) and zero or more linked working trees.
+
+Each linked working tree has a private sub-directory in the repository's
+$GIT_DIR/worktrees directory.  The private sub-directory's name is usually
+the base name of the linked working tree's path, possibly appended with a
+number to make it unique.  For example, when `$GIT_DIR=/path/main/.git` the
+command `git worktree new /path/other/test-next next` creates the linked
+working tree in `/path/other/test-next` and also creates a
+`$GIT_DIR/worktrees/test-next` directory (or `$GIT_DIR/worktrees/test-next1`
+if `test-next` is already taken).
+
+Within a linked working tree, $GIT_DIR is set to point to this private
+directory (e.g. `/path/main/.git/worktrees/test-next` in the example) and
+$GIT_COMMON_DIR is set to point back to the main working tree's $GIT_DIR
+(e.g. `/path/main/.git`). These settings are made in a `.git` file located at
+the top directory of the linked working tree.
+
+Path resolution via `git rev-parse --git-path` uses either
+$GIT_DIR or $GIT_COMMON_DIR depending on the path. For example, in the
+linked working tree `git rev-parse --git-path HEAD` returns
+`/path/main/.git/worktrees/test-next/HEAD` (not
+`/path/other/test-next/.git/HEAD` or `/path/main/.git/HEAD`) while `git
+rev-parse --git-path refs/heads/master` uses
+$GIT_COMMON_DIR and returns `/path/main/.git/refs/heads/master`,
+since refs are shared across all working trees.
+
+See linkgit:gitrepository-layout[5] for more information. The rule of
+thumb is do not make any assumption about whether a path belongs to
+$GIT_DIR or $GIT_COMMON_DIR when you need to directly access something
+inside $GIT_DIR. Use `git rev-parse --git-path` to get the final path.
+
+When you are done with a linked working tree you can simply delete it.
+The working tree's entry in the repository's $GIT_DIR/worktrees
+directory will eventually be removed automatically (see
+`gc.pruneworktreesexpire` in linkgit::git-config[1]), or you can run
+`git prune --worktrees` in the main or any linked working tree to
+clean up any stale entries in $GIT_DIR/worktrees.
