{14:44:16|~code/git}% git checkout master

Switched to branch "master"
{14:44:24|~code/git}% git shard HEAD\~5
HEAD is now at 8e69d78 Merge branch 'maint'
{14:44:28|~code/git}% git checkout HEAD
Your branch is behind the tracked remote branch 'origin/master' by 6 commits,
and can be fast-forwarded.
