Subject: [PATCH 0/3] checkout: allow -b/-B to work on a merge base

From: Denton Liu <[email-masked]>

I noticed earlier that running

	$ git checkout -b test master...

would result in the following failure message:

	fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master...'.

I believe that this is a bug, so this patchset will allow this to succeed.
