Bug Description

----
⟫ snap version
snap 2.31
snapd 2.31
series 16
ubuntu 17.10
kernel 4.13.0-32-generic
----

With a snap already installed (in this case gitlptools), I wanted to test a change, so I pushed it to a branch:

----
⟫ snapcraft release gitlptools 17 latest/stable/thomi-browser
Track Arch Channel Version Revision Expires at
latest amd64 stable a11aa56 15
                 candidate ^ ^
                 beta ^ ^
                 edge a11aa56 16
                 stable/thomi-browser 85de065 17 2018-03-09T18:55:01.826034
The 'stable/thomi-browser' channel is now open
----

and then minutes later, switched my local install to that branch

----
⟫ snap refresh gitlptools --channel=latest/stable/thomi-browser
gitlptools (stable/thomi-browser) 85de065 from 'sparkiegeek' refreshed
Snap gitlptools is no longer tracking latest/stable/thomi-browser.
----

snapd claims that it is no longer tracking the branch I just asked it to switch to?

but...

Hmm.. I'll take a look. It might be the status reporting getting confused by the changes.
