If you try to switch to a branch (e.g. `master`), but get the case wrong, e.g:
git switch MASTER
git checkout MASTER
git switch Master
git checkout Masteretc. then it autocorrects the case (bad idea but ok), but it also enables the `--detach` flag! In other words
git switch Master
acts like
git switch -d master
Very unexpected!
Cheers,
Tim
