You can switch to branches, tags or commits. If I remember correctly, "branch" is used in Subversion and CVS only for the creation of a branch. Likewise "tag" for creating a tag. And I think they both use "update" to load the required branch/tag/commit into the current working area. If git were to do that then I think we might get around some of this confusion. In that case: git branch = create a branch git tag = create a tag And then a new "update", so: git update <branchname> = make the current working area contain a copy of the given branch, and similarly "git update <tagname>" or "git update <commit-id>" In all these cases the keyword after "git" is definitely a verb, even where the actual word used could be either, and you need to look at all the definitions in the dictionary to check.
