I was starting to get confused with all the back-and-forth, so here is a
squashed patch that contains everything discussed so far: my original
tests, your squashed patches, my test fixups, and the less-subtle
resolve_ref thing.
I didn't bisect the breakage, so I'm not sure how far back it goes. But
this is potentially maint-worthy.
This doesn't include any tests or fixes for "git checkout -b newbranch
ambiguous". I'll work on that separately as a patch on top.

From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] checkout: fix bug with ambiguous refs
The usual dwim_ref lookup prefers tags to branches. Because
checkout primarily works on branches, though, we switch that
behavior to prefer branches.
However, there was a bug in the implementation in which we
used lookup_commit_reference (which used the regular lookup
rules) to get the actual commit to checkout. Checking out an
ambiguous ref therefore ended up putting us in an extremely
broken state in which we wrote the branch ref into HEAD, but
actually checked out the tree for the tag.
This patch fixes the bug by always attempting to pull the
commit to be checked out from the branch-ified version of
the name we were given.
Patch by Junio, tests and commit message from Jeff King.
