Research direction

Start at the checkout command’s branch creation and checkout paths, and trace which path prints each message. Compare the output with the issue’s example; done means git2cpp checkout -b temp prints only “Switched to a new branch 'temp'”. Pull request #204 is already open for this issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug

git2cpp checkout of a new branch prints two lines:

$ ./build/git2cpp checkout -b temp
Switched to a new branch 'temp'
Switched to branch 'temp'

where as real git prints just one:

$ git checkout -b temp
Switched to a new branch 'temp'
