Report #97090

[tooling] Review a colleague's PR without stashing current changes or cloning the repo again

git worktree add --track -b pr-review-branch origin/pr-branch ../pr-review-dir

Journey Context:
Developers often stash work \(destructive, context lost\) or clone multiple copies \(wastes GBs of disk and network\) to switch context. Git worktrees allow parallel checkouts from a single .git object database. The \`--track\` flag automatically sets upstream, avoiding manual branch configuration. Tradeoff: uses disk for checked-out files, but negligible compared to full clones.
