Linus Torvalds	91dcdfd3b5	Make "git checkout" create new branches on demand In particular, if we check out something that isn't an old branch, it now requires a new branch-name to check the thing out into. So, for example: git checkout -b my-branch v2.6.12 will create the new branch "my-branch", and start it at v2.6.12, while git checkout master will just switch back to the master branch. Of course, if you want to create a new branch "my-branch" and _not_ check it out, you could have done so with just git-rev-parse v2.6.12^0 > .git/refs/heads/my-branch which I think I will codify as "git branch".	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	714fff2aa8	Make "git checkout" verify that the argument refers to a commit We still need to create a new branch if it didn't refer to an existing branch, otherwise our HEAD will continue to point to something totally different than what we just checked out. I'll need to think about it. Maybe only do it with "-f" and force it to the "master" branch?	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	b33e966608	Add "git-sh-setup-script" for common git shell script setup It sets up the normal git environment variables and a few helper functions (currently just "die()"), and returns ok if it all looks like a git archive. So use it something like . git-sh-setup-script \|\| die "Not a git archive" to make the rest of the git scripts more careful and readable.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	e2efb676ef	git-checkout-script: use "--verify --revs-only" to parse revs Sven Verdoolaege points out that I added the --verify option to git-rev-parse exactly for things like this, but didn't update the users.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	9661c25640	Fix typo in git-checkout-script. The confusion between "revs" vs "refs" caused us to not find the branch name, which in turn meant that we never switched the HEAD over to it.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	ef0bfa25e9	Remove MERGE_HEAD in "git checkout/reset" Both of these scripts will end up resetting the index to some specific head, and any unresolved merge will be forgotten.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	dc14841102	git checkout: fix default head case The "${new=$old}" syntax only works for an undefined 'new', not for an empty one. I knew that. Really. I'm not stupid.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	e8b11749f0	Make "git checkout" know about different branches Now "git checkout xyzzy" will check out branch "xyzzy" and switch the HEAD to it.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	a79944d76c	"git checkout": add "-u" flag to update HEAD conditionally And fix braino on testing "-f".	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	303e5f4c32	Add "git checkout" that does what the name suggests It is careful by default and refuses to overwrite old info, but if you want to force everything to be re-read, use the "-f" flag. Some day I'll make it take individual filenames too. Right now it's all-or-nothing.	20 years ago
