Adds a few basic tests for the new copy branch option. Aim is to
have an option -c for copying a branch just like -m option for
renaming a branch.
My definition of "copy" for this feature is "copying from A to create
B, keeping A intact". That means "copy branch A to B" should do
whatever "move branch A to B" does except it shouldn't delete A and
should keep A unchanged.
1. When a branch topic-2 is created by copying from branch topic-1,
topic-2 branch reflog should now contain the all the entries of
topic-1 branch (before copying) followed by "Copied from topic-1".
[This is debatable though, I want inputs/suggestions about this.]
2. Copying a branch should also copy the git config section for that
branch. This means if topic-2 branch is created from topic-1,
"branch.topic-2.remote" should now be same as "branch.topic-1.remote",
if set.
3. "git push" to copied branch for example - topic-2 should push a new
branch with the same name in the remote repo. That means if topic-1
was previously pushed and a new branch topic-2 is copied from topic-1,
"git push" on topic-2 branch won't push to the same branch as "git
push on topic-1 branch would.
4. "git branch -c new-branch" should copy the currently checked out
branch and create a new branch with name "new-branch".
