There's checkout.defaultRemote that changes this behavior and it
affects git-switch as well.

I like the idea of giving more information than just the terse (and
technically correct) "cannot find branch". But I may have to delay
implementing this a bit. There's a been a lot of updates in git-switch
(which is great, don't get me wrong, I appreciate the feedback). I
need to get v4 out for review soon then maybe handle the rest in v5
(and finally take a real hard look at git-restore comments).
