Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Yes, but non-blocking.
Occasionally we get errors like,
```
$ git checkout -f FETCH_HEAD
--
| Updating files: 100% (20200/20200), done.
| error: Could not read d14822981d71c7fb637153e4fcb8c7e4bc5e2142
| fatal: internal error in revision walk
| ⚠️ Warning: Checkout failed! exit status 128 (Attempt 1/3 Retrying in 2s)
```
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Want to resolve this in a `pre-exit` repo hook, but both `$?` and `$BUILDKITE_LAST_HOOK_EXIT_STATUS` are `0`. If there was a `BUILDKITE_CHECKOUT_EXIT_STATUS` similar to `BUILDKITE_LAST_HOOK_EXIT_STATUS` and `BUILDKITE_COMMAND_EXIT_STATUS` which indicated in the `pre-exit` hook this checkout failed, we'd resolve this issue only when we needed to.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Alternative is to always reset the repo.
Another alternative considered was to add a `export BUILDKITE_CHECKOUT_EXIT_STATUS=1` to the environment hook then unset it `post-checkout`, but would live to avoid pre-checkout (and therefore non-repo hooks) to resolve this.
