Also if you use the VSCode UI to switch branches in a worktree, it will actually checkout the target branch (which can be confirmed via the integrated console), but the UI won't change.

[steelerc69]

IF you use any of the status bar items (git pull, git synch, etc.) it uses the WRONG branch from what you are in and you end up with a "merge" from the branch that VSCode "thinks" you are in and NOT the real branch shown in the console!
