[PATCH] t3200: clean side effect of git checkout --orphan

The "refuse --edit-description on unborn branch for now" test in t3200 switches to an orphan branch, causing subsequent git commands referencing HEAD to fail. Avoid this side-effect by switching back to master after that test finishes.

This has gone undetected, as the next effected test expects failure - but it currently fails for the wrong reason.

Verbose output of the next test referencing HEAD, "--merged is incompatible with --no-merged":

  fatal: malformed object name HEAD
Which this commit corrects to:
  error: option `no-merged' is incompatible with --merged
Signed-off-by: Aaron Lipman <alipman88@gmail.com>

We might considered updating "--merged is incompatible with --no-merged"
tests to not only test for failure, but check the contents of the error
message to ensure they fail for the correct reason, e.g.:
test_expect_success '--merged is incompatible with --no-merged' '
  test_must_fail git branch --merged HEAD --no-merged HEAD 2>error &&
  test_i18ngrep "is incompatible with --merged" error
'

However, I intend to submit a patch enabling ref-filter to accept multiple merged/no-merged filters, which would make said updates irrelevant.
