Right now, the -f/--force in git-checkout doesn't carry over to -b operations - ie. you can't do git checkout -b branch on an existing branch. This patch series changes this, so that one can do
git checkout -f -b branch ref
which is equivalent to
git branch -f branch ref && git checkout branch
Contents: [PATCH 1/3] add tests for checkout -b [PATCH 2/3] t2018-checkout-branch.sh: show that checkout -f -b doesn't DWIM [PATCH 3/3] builtin/checkout: DWIM with -f -b
