It wouldn't be hard. Just try to interpret the string supplied by the
user as a committish: if successful, check it out; if not, create a

a branch with the same name as an existing committish, but that's
probably OK.

Yes, having different commands that do one job each and do it well
isn't a bad idea either. I like my idea more, but obviously whoever
