alt Hacker NewsA slight limitation of worktrees is that you can only have a branch checked out once in all of your worktrees. I guess that's just how git works.
But when I want to checkout a branch that's already checked out in another worktree, Magit just plain refuses. I wish it would offer me to either:
1. Switch to that worktree instead
2. Detach head in the other worktree and checkout here
Would be such an improvement! No excuses though, I love magit and might as well hack this myself. I'm just bad at elisp.

You can use `--force`:
