Interesting.  I reproduced the 'checkout -b feature/foo master' failure
after 300 executions.

"status 128" confounds me a bit; tho there is a surprising (to me)
number of hits for "git exit 128" on the net.  Wondering if Git outputs
anything useful…

Anyhoo, no clue yet - just wanted to ACK (openSUSE Tumbleweed FWIW),
what with having authored that test.
