Is this reset strictly necessary. We are already there @head.
No, this is not strictly necessary, but
I've realised my misunderstanding. I was thinking this (and others) was
equivalent to
$ git reset <thatHead'onto'> # maybe even --hard,
i.e. affecting the worktree
rather that just being a movement of the Head rev (though I may be having
brain fade here regarding untracked files etc..)
- it makes it easier to auto-generate (otherwise you would have to keep
track of the "current HEAD" while generating that todo list, and
- if I keep the `reset onto` there, then it is *a lot* easier to reorder
topic branches.
Ciao,

Thanks
Philip
