Hi, I'm not so familiar with Git GUI, but I see there is this "Browse Branch Files" command where you can explore the repository in a given branch/revision without doing anything with your working tree. Does that work for you?
Also, in gitk (the log visualizer), you can right click commits and say "Reset master branch to here". Then when you're done looking around in the working tree, just click "Reset master branch to here" on the last commit again. Be careful with reset though, as it actually removes/rewrites history. I also agree, it would be nice to have a "Checkout here" thing in GitK as well as "Reset". Not sure why they haven't got that... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
