fix: checkout -b with dirty workdir no longer blocked

checkout -b creates a new branch at the current HEAD — no file content changes, so dirty tracked files cannot be overwritten. The dirty-workdir guard was firing unconditionally before the create vs. switch decision, forcing an unnecessary stash/unstash cycle every time a feature branch was started with uncommitted WIP.

Fix: skip require_clean_workdir when create=True. The guard still fires for switching to an existing branch whose snapshot differs from workdir.

Regression test: test_create_with_dirty_workdir_succeeds verifies exit 0, correct branch switch, and dirty file preservation.
