[Bug 1846478] [NEW] git-checkout: regression on initial checkout

[Thomas Faivre]

Public bug reported:

Dear Maintainer,

There is a regression in the behavior of git checkout on a new,
unchecked-out git repository in version 1:2.20.1-2ubuntu1 (eoan and disco):

$ git clone --no-checkout <git_repo> /tmp/repo
$ git -C /tmp/repo checkout -b <new_branch> <tag>
$ ls /tmp/repo
<empty, nothing was checked-out>

Bug was fixed in v2.21.0 of git. Patch is available [1].

Thank you!
