I abuse git bisect for this temporary switcing. It only gives me a one
level memory, but otoh the git prompt tells me I'm on a discourse.
[me@lathund GIT (rr/abspath|BISECTING)]$ git checkout master
Switched to branch "master"
[me@lathund GIT (master|BISECTING)]$ git checkout HEAD~2
Note: moving to "HEAD~2" which isn't a local branch
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
HEAD is now at afcc4f7... Merge branch 'js/prune-expire'
[me@lathund GIT (afcc4f7...|BISECTING)]$ git bisect reset
Previous HEAD position was afcc4f7... Merge branch 'js/prune-expire'
Switched to branch "rr/abspath"
[me@lathund GIT (rr/abspath)]$
