completion: add tests showing subpar switch/checkout --track logic
When the --track option is provided to git switch or git checkout, and
no branch is specified by -c or -b, git will interpret the tracking
branch to determine the local branch name to use. This "Do What I Mean"
logic is similar but distinct from the default DWIM logic of
interpreting a unique remote branch name as a request to create and
track that branch.
For example, `git switch --track origin/master` is interpreted as
a request to create a local branch named master that is tracking
origin/master.
The current completion for git checkout in this regard is only somewhat
poor:
$git checkout --track <TAB>
HEAD
master
matching-branch
matching-tag
other/branch-in-other
other/master-in-other
At least it still includes remote references. The clutter from including
all references isn't too bad.
However, git switch completion is terrible:
$git switch --track <TAB>
master
matching-branch
It only shows local branches, not even allowing any form of completion
of the remote references!
Add tests which highlight the expected behavior of completing --track on
its own.
Note that when -c/-C or -b/-B are provided we do expect completing more
references, but this will be discussed in a future change that addresses
these options specifically.
