[PATCH 2/3] t2018: demonstrate checkout -b merge base bug

[Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com>]

In git-checkout.txt, it states

	As a special case, you may use `"A...B"` as a shortcut for the
	merge base of `A` and `B` if there is exactly one merge base. You can
	leave out at most one of `A` and `B`, in which case it defaults to `HEAD`.

However, there exists a bug where performing

	$ git checkout -b test master...

fails with the message

	fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master...'.

Demonstrate this failure so that it can be corrected later.
