I think it might be simpler than that even -- the optimization treats the following as equivalent when the current checked out revision is deadbeef (even if the index / worktree differ), when before they were not: - git checkout -b newbranch - git checkout deadbeef -b newbranch If a revision is specified on the commandline it should be checked out.
