Yeah, an option to change which branch is current should be called 
something different. --onto is an initial reset --hard, not an initial 
checkout; it specifies the branch (or commit) that the sequence of changes 
are done on top of, not the branch that will contain them. "Onto" (as an 
english preposition) specifies a destination, not a location, so it 
doesn't make sense as the location that stuff is done.
