In both _git_checkout and _git_switch a new "prevword" variable were introduced, however the "prev" variable already contains the last word.

The "prevword" variable is replaced with "prev", and the case is moved to the beginning of the function, like it's done in many other places (e.g. _git_commit). Also the indentaion of the case is fixed.
