When switching branches with repo checkout <another_branch>  while there are
uncommitted changes in the current branch, the error message given is:

error: no project has branch <another_branch>

which is not correct, since there is such a branch.

If I instead use git checkout <another_branch>, I get the correct message:

error: You have local changes to 'somethingorother'; cannot switch branches.

Committing the change and then using repo checkout <another_branch> works...
