The problem is that there is nothing that marks the originally checked
out commit except by being pointed to by HEAD.  Also, testing a
different commit as the one suggested by git can be useful when skipping
over commits that are known to fail for unrelated reasons (see "Avoiding
testing a commit" in git-bisect(1)).
