`git node release --promote` doesn't support worktrees

[targos]

On my computer, I have several git worktrees (one for main, one for each release line, etc).

The promotion fails on the "cherry-pick to main" step, because I'm running it from the v23.x worktree and main is checked out in another one:

✔ Cherry-pick release commit to the default branch? Yes
fatal: 'main' is already used by worktree at '/Users/mzasso/git/nodejs/node'
Error: git checkout,main failed: 128
 at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (file:///Users/mzasso/.volta/tools/image/packages/@node-core/utils/lib/node_modules/@node-core/utils/lib/run.js:45:21)
 at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:507:28)

 at Process.callbackTrampoline (node:internal/async_hooks:130:17){
 code: 128,
 messageOnly: true
}

I don't know if that can be fixed.

The tool could run/parse the output of git worktree list --porcelain and potentially switch directories (but it should ask just in case the user is in the middle of work in the worktree for the main branch).

(FWIW I haven't tried the promote tooling from ncu, but I do use git worktrees and have always had to switch from my release line specific worktree to my main worktree to do the merges back to main.)

I’ve never even heard of git work trees, so that might explain the lack of support – I still haven’t figured out why everyone is using branches on their local clones, so by all means don’t wait on me 😅
