Restore checkpoint detached head state ?

[Carreau]

IIUC restoring checkpoint will checkout, which should put you in a detached-head state,
which might not be the actual goal.

Would it be smarter to (commit?) , create branch name , reset --hard <comittish> ?

But that's a detail.

[smoskwa]

It only results in a detached-head when the filename is not specified

i.e. git checkout <tree-ish> compared with git checkout <tree-ish> filename

To be fair it ought to have a -- before the filename to avoid ambiguity

That said, I'm sure with enough thought I'm sure someone could implement branching and pretty graph output in the revert to checkpoint menu.
