[PATCH 02/11] completion: add test showing subpar git switch completion

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com>

With no options, git switch only allows switching branches or DWIM to create a local branch tracking a remote branch of the same name. However, tab completion will expand "git switch <TAB>" to any local reference, including pseudorefs like HEAD, or tags.

Add a test case which highlights this failure, which will be fixed in a future refactoring of git switch completion support.
