Git: Support git worktrees in workspace

$ mkdir repro
$ cd repro
$ mkdir example1
$ cd example1
$ git init; echo "hello" > world.txt; git add world.txt; git commit -m "init";
$ git worktree add ../example1branchA
$ git worktree add ../example1branchB
$ cd ..

$ mkdir example2
$ cd example2
$ git init; echo "hello" > world.txt; git add world.txt; git commit -m "init";
$ cd ..

Scenario:

1. Open repro directory in VS Code
2. Go to Git tab.

Expected: “Source Control Providers” lists Git repos.

• example1
• example1branchA
• example1branchB
• example2

Actual: “Source Control Providers” lists Git repos.

• example1
• example2

I sometimes will have lots of branches checked out in parallel on huge repos that I can’t afford to clone multiple times. I would also like to be able to use VS Code’s source control functionality with these checkouts all the same.

Thanks! and thanks for Code!

Thank you honorable vscodebot, but this feature request is not a duplicate of that issue.

What’s missing here is the ability to switch between branches and/or create a new worktree when working in a bare repo. The branch listing works just fine but vscode doesn’t automatically change the working directories when I select a branch that exists as a worktree.
