Previously, start-point was silently ignored when the target branch or worktree already existed. This could be confusing for users who expect the worktree to be created from a specific start point. Now git-wt returns a clear error in these cases: - Switching to an existing worktree with a start-point - Creating a worktree for an existing branch with a start-point
