Report #45538

[tooling] Reviewing a PR or hotfix branch requires stashing current work or cloning the repo again, which is slow or risky

Use \`git worktree add --track -b pr-123 ../pr-123 origin/pr-123\` to create a linked worktree in a sibling directory; switch to \`../pr-123\` to build/test, then \`git worktree remove pr-123\` when done.

Journey Context:
Developers often use \`git stash\` \(risky if they forget to pop\) or full clones \(wastes GBs and time\); \`worktree\` shares the object database but keeps independent working trees, allowing \`make\` or tests to run in parallel without dirtying the main checkout; crucially, \`add\` creates the directory, \`remove\` cleans it up, and the main repo remains untouched.
