Support for arc work T12345 (workOnTask workflow)

Just adding references

• T15014#676 during a discussion about creating tasks before creating revisions
• T15096#2229 during discussion of "arcaast as a barrier"

I would mention that prior to arc work we wanted similar functionality so in our company, we have an internal extension to a cli tool that we utilize (it is called lc)

In this tool we do this

lc branch T123456

This then creates a local branch (based on master) in the form T12345-The_Title_Of_The_Task

I am assuming that this is roughly what the plan for arc work once was?

I'd assume that it also links the task and the diff together and optionally allows to close the task automatically on diff land?

I'm mostly annoyed that I have to tell people working on my project to link tasks and diffs manually when it could be easily automated.

Yes - it works seamlessly because if the local branch has a task number in it, the diff is automatically linked to that task when you run arc diff

I see. So, is that functionality already a part of arc diff? In other words, if arc work T123 would have worked exactly the same way as arc work branch-name (by creating a branch that's called either T123 or branch-name), then arc diff would correctly link it?

In this case, I see no reason why arc work T123 should raise an exception until some additional behavior is implemented.
