For a person not familiar with "git checkout --to" or its underlying
implementation, this description may be lacking. Such a reader may be
left wondering about GIT_COMMON_DIR's overall purpose, and when and
how it should be used. Perhaps it would make sense to talk a bit
about
"git checkout --to" here?
I don't want to repeat too much. Maybe mention about "git checkout
--to" and point them to git-checkout man page?
I've just looked at both
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-checkout.html and
http://git-htmldocs.googlecode.com/git/git-checkout.html and neither
appear to mention the --to option.
Is it missing from the man page? Or is it me that's missing something?
