Both attempts run under a timeout and honour cancellation, killing the git process and continuing on the current HEAD rather than hanging.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Runs with `-c alias.switch=` so a user-defined `switch` alias cannot take over the command.\n- The child process is killed with SIGKILL on timeout or abort.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`as checkout -B`\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
