checkout: restrict @-expansions when finding branchjk/interpret-branch-name
When we parse "git checkout $NAME", we try to interpret
$NAME as a local branch-name. If it is, then we point HEAD
to that branch. Otherwise, we detach the HEAD at whatever
commit $NAME points to.
We do the interpretation by calling strbuf_branchname(), and
then blindly sticking "refs/heads/" on the front. This leads
to nonsense results when expansions like "@{upstream}" or
"@" point to something besides a local branch. We end up
with a local branch name like "refs/heads/origin/master" or
"refs/heads/HEAD".
Normally this has no user-visible effect because those
branches don't exist, and so we fallback to feeding the
result to get_sha1(), which resolves them correctly.
But as the new test in t3204 shows, there are corner cases
where the effect is observable, and we check out the wrong
local branch rather than detaching to the correct one.
