From: Ben Peart <benpeart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The optimized `checkout -b` doesn�t typically create/update the index and working directory. Add a new test to detect the case when the call to `checkout -b` is the first call after doing a `clone --no-checkout` and no index exists. In this specific case, well now make the call to merge_working_tree() which will create the index and update the working directory. Also simplify and update the test cases based on the feedback provided by Szeder and Junio. A shout out to Johannes who diagnosed, fixed and patched a bug that was preventing me from running the git test suite in the master branch.
