This PR addresses the charge issue, and flips the charge and the sign of ipt if ipt goes negative. This is a better version of the fix that I originally implemented in PR252 (which I will close), because now I deal with the problem at the source instead of adding std::abs everywhere that ipt might be negative.
The physics performance from these changes can be seen in the slides here. The conclusions are similar to before: these fixes seem to make the track quality and efficiency slightly worse.
The plots for ttbar PU50 are here for the baseline (head of devel after the merge of PR271) and here with the charge flip fix.
The plots for the 10muon sample using HLT triplets are here for the baseline and here with the charge flip fix.
