Yep, you are right. I applied the patch as part of this 2/2 patch and will
include it in v4. When it comes to attribution, is there a preferred way to
handle this?

Originally the new orphan branch's name was passed into
`add_worktree(path, refname, opts)` via the `orphan_branch` field in `opts` and
the branch which was to be checked out first(to mimic `git checkout --orphan`)
was passed in via `refname`.
Now that the behavior was changed to use `git switch`, that
"checkout then make orphan" behavior was unneeded and `refname` also contains
the name of the orphan branch.
For `make_worktree_orphan(opts, child_env)` however since I used the same
function signature as `checkout_worktree(opts, child_env)`, `refname` wasn't
passed in and I used `opts->orphan_branch` to access the branch name from
that scope.
I can change `make_worktree_orphan(opts, child_env)` to
`make_worktree_orphan(ref, opts, child_env)` instead and then `orphan_branch`
would be able to be treated as a boolean like those other flags.

Yes. I've updated that for v4.
