Elaboration needed here. If I create a bare _clone_, then "HEAD" could be detached, or point to some branch, depending on where "HEAD" is in the source repo. If source repo's HEAD is "master", I got the same behavior (worktree add fails). If it's detached or points to some other branch, it's ok. If this is "git init --bare" then I got "fatal: invalid reference: master". > and was able to git add worktree > /path master.
