Fix #60904
Description
Problem raised when trying to checkout a remote branch, while there existing a local branch having the same name.
Solution
Basically, we can check whether the remote branch name matches with any local branch. However, I think it's confusing sometimes when the local branch is tracking to an upstream branch with another name. Therefore, I think it's better to judge by the tracking ship instead of simply branch name.
By using
we can get all the tracking relations from local branch to the upstream branch, just as what is shown in the capture below.
Therefore, I add a
GetTrackingmethod inextensions/git/src/git.tsto parse for the tracking relationship and return. And when a user is trying, for instance, checkout toorigin/master, vscode will find the tracking relation frommastertoorigin/master, and checkout tomasterinstead.
