While discussing the behavior of "git checkout -", I apparently was confused because the documentation states: The construct @{-<n>} means the <n>th branch checked out before the current one. But experimenting with it, it also takes you back to previously checkout commits. git-checkout-at-minus-one :: (master) » git checkout origin/master Note: checking out 'origin/master'. HEAD is now at f8b2f0c... two git-checkout-at-minus-one :: (f8b2f0c) » git checkout - Switched to branch 'master' git-checkout-at-minus-one :: (master) » git checkout - Note: checking out 'f8b2f0c1419d1fe798159c2c2578d2dbe1323148'. HEAD is now at f8b2f0c... two Either the documentation is wrong, and should be changed to "<n>th branch/commit checkout out before the current one", or the behavior of @{-1} is wrong. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
