git-checkout: handle local changes sanely when detaching HEAD
When switching branches, we usually first try read-tree to make
sure that we do not lose the local changes and then updated the
HEAD using update-ref. However, we detached and updated HEAD
before these checks, which was quite bad in a repository with
local changes.
