Issue Description:

Recently I added support for adding tests for update-checkout. Without tests, we can not guarantee behavior will not change.

This seems like a useful starter bug for someone who knows python and wants to get involved in the project. The general idea is to create tests based around creating a mock git scheme and a test harness that sets up local git repos for the schema. Using that we can test the functionality of update-checkout locally without hitting github.

I am happy to provide guidance for anyone who wants to take this up.
