From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@xxxxxxxxx> With no options, git switch only allows switching branches or DWIM to create a local branch tracking a remote branch of the same name. However, tab completion will expand "git switch <TAB>" to any local reference, including pseudorefs like HEAD, or tags. Add a test case which highlights this failure, which will be fixed in a future refactoring of git switch completion support.
