When reconfiguring the branch to something not already fetched,
action_pull fails with
error: pathspec '<new branch name>' did not match any file(s) known to git.
It is the "git checkout" which fails like that. To solve this,
try the faster "git checkout + git pull" first and only if that fails,
fall back to the slow "git fetch + git checkout".
In the conf.hard_reset case, do the checkout always after the git fetch.
