Thanks again for the review, Junio.
I've squashed 2/3 and 3/3 together and made that documentation change I
was talking about earlier.
---
Changes since v2:
* Squashed 2/3 with 3/3
* Document merge base syntax for <start_point> in git-checkout.txt
Changes since v1:
* Moved multiple `test_when_finished` calls that appeared in "reverse
order" into one call that appears in the logical order
* Made create_branch handle merge base revs instead of putting a hack
into checkout
