Checking out remote branch does not work

Describe the bug When clicking the checkout button for a remote branch that branch is not correctly checked out. A new local branch is created based on master, not the remote branch.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a remote branch with at least two commits that are not in master.
2. Open the Branches window in the git menu
3. Click the checkout button on the remote branch created above
4. Note that changes in the branch are not displayed in the UI
5. Click Help > Show App Data Folder
6. Navigate to Insomnia/version-control/git/[repo id]/git
7. Run git log in that folder
8. Run git log origin/<branch name>

Expected behavior When you click the checkout button the local branch is created based on the contents of the remote branch, not master

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Installation Method: windows installer
• App Version: 20221.2.1

Additional context If the remote branch is only 1 commit ahead of master this issue can be resolved by pulling. If the branch is 2 or more commits ahead the pull fails with the following error:

Same isssue, checkout is not updating history and generating conflicts when pulling

I am having this same issue. This makes it very difficult for me to use, as I have to manually cherry-pick commits from another branch into the branch that I want to develop on.
