When adding a new worktree, we only verify that an optionally given
reference is valid half-way through the function. At this point, some
data structures have already been created on-disk. If we bail out due to
an invalid reference, these will be left behind and need to be manually
cleaned up by the user.

Improve the situation by moving the reference checks to the function's
preamble. Like this, we error out as early as possible and will not
leave behind any files.
