IMVHO git-checkout is characterized that it changes _current_ working directory. But having this in git-checkout would mean that you can create new workdir for _existing_ branch. git-branch is rather (except from listing) for creating new branches. It is a fact that functionalities of git-checkout (-b) and git-branch (--new-work-dir) intersect a bit. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git - 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
