From time to time I want to checkout a commit which is close to HEAD (say HEAD -3) So git checkout HEAD~3 Is more convenient than git checkout SOMELONGHASH I must even admit that I find the git convention of counting backwards from HEAD more convenient than mercurial convention of counting forward from the first commit. To make that clear such a local revision number is purely convenience.

That is true (at least compared to mercurial) but that can be dealt easily with aliasing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
