The test intends to rebase a branchy history onto a later commit, but it
forgot to reset HEAD back to an earlier commit before it set up the side
branches. In the end, every "rebased" commit was only a fast-forward and
the 'rebase -p' did not change the commit graph at all. Insert the missing
checkout that moves to an earlier commit.

 Noticed while I was working on replacing 'git merge' by 'git
 cherry-pick' in the rebase -p code path.

Makes sense to me. Thanks, Johannes.
