Actually the point of that exercise was to ignore branch (non)switches
of the form
checkout: moving from A to A
I originally thought that this would be desirable behaviour, but now
that it causes so much trouble, I'm not that sure any more. I still
think it would be more intuitive to not count them as switches (after
all git-checkout says 'Already on "$branch"'), but OTOH 'cd .; cd -'
also stays in the same directory.
Thanks for all the work you (both) are doing on this. I hope to find
the time to read the current state of the series tonight.
