Description Michael Keppler CLA 2019-09-12 11:59:20 EDT 
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.branch.BranchOperationUI$CheckoutJob.run(BranchOperationUI.java:275)
	at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:63)


Reproduction (not always):
* select a branch node
* hit Del, hit Enter

I sometimes run into this when I want to immediately close the "branches not merged" dialog, but there is no such dialog. In that case egit tries to checkout the branch which is deleted at the same time. We should avoid the NPE, even though is basically a user error.
