Jesse Duffield 4a07e03701 Local-ise remote branches when checking out by name
The idea here is that in the git CLI you will often want to checkout a
remote branch like origin/blah by doing `git checkout blah`. That will
automatically create a local branch named blah that tracks origin/blah.

Previously in the suggestions view when checking out a branch by name,
we would only show local branches and remote branches like origin/blah
but wouldn't show blah as an option (assuming no local branch existed
with that name). This meant users would checkout origin/blah and git
would check out that branch as a detached head which is rarely what you
actually want.

Now we give them both options. The alternative approach we could have
taken is to still show the branch as origin/blah but then ask if the
user wants to check out the branch as detached or as a local branch
tracking the remote branch. That approach is certainly more versatile,
but it's also something you can do already by going to the remote branch
directly via the remotes view. Admittedly, my approach involves less
work.
