Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] checkout: fix regression in checkout -b on intitial checkout

From: Ben Peart <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2019 13:55:58 -0500

From: Ben Peart <[email-masked]>

When doing a 'checkout -b' do a full checkout including updating the working
tree when doing the initial checkout.  This fixes the regression in behavior
caused by fa655d8411 checkout: optimize "git checkout -b <new_branch>"
