git switch is still marked as EXPERIMENTAL in the online help. I don't think
moving broadly to switch from checkout in the documentation should happen
until the EXPERIMENTAL designation is dropped. After that, then "switch -c"
should be used everywhere instead of checkout (except for in the checkout
documentation).
