This function is the only user of find_tracked_branch(). For e.g. "git
checkout we emit";
fatal: builtin/checkout.c:1246: 'foo' matched multiple (4) remote tracking branches
Perhaps we can do something similar here, and even with some advise()
emit information about what other branches conflicted.

I wondered when reading this if there isn't a way to merge this and the
"branch_get" call made in "inherit_tracking" earlier in this function in
the "track != BRANCH_TRACK_INHERIT" case.
But maybe not, and that whole API entry point is a bit messy in needing
to cover both the use-case of an existing branch & nonexisting
(i.e. initial creation).
