This makes sure that local branches, when followed using --track, behave
the same as remote ones (e.g. differences being reported by git status
and git checkout). This fixes 1 known failure.
The fix is done within branch_get(): The first natural candidate,
namely remote_find_tracking(), does not have all the necessary info
because in general there is no remote struct for '.', and we don't want
one because it would show up in other places as well.
branch_get(), on the other hand, has access to merge_names[] (in
addition to merge[]) and therefore can set up the followed branch
easily.

According to the documentation, it is perfectly okay to follow local
branches using the --track option. Introduce a test which checks whether
they behave the same. Currently one test fails.

We try to avoid using the "-q" or "-e" options, as they are
largely useless, as explained in aadbe44f.
There is one exception for "-e" here, which is in t7701 used
to produce an "or" of patterns. This can be rewritten as an
egrep pattern.
This patch also removes use of "grep -F" in favor of the
more widely available "fgrep".

When left-right traversal counts the commits in a diverged history, it
leaves the flags in the commits smudged, and we need to clear them before
we return. Otherwise the caller cannot inspect other branches with this
function again.
