[PATCH b4 v2 33/44] tests: cover create_review_branch cleaning up a half-built branch

Message-ID <20260731-work-b4-editor-branch-guard-v2-33-243fd19d322d@kernel.org>
Both starting points with the patch range failing to read: from a
branch and from a detached HEAD. The detached case starts at the tip
rather than the base, so restoring to the base would not pass.
