Jonathan Nieder 39bd6f7261 Allow checkout -B <current-branch> to update the current branch
When on master, "git checkout -B master <commit>" is a more natural way to
say "git reset --keep <commit>", which was originally invented for the
exact purpose of moving to the named commit while keeping the local changes
around.
