For the future, ‘git checkout C2’ might work better for this task. Unlike ‘git reset’, it does not change where the current branch head points, so when you’re done exploring you can get back to where you were with ‘git checkout topic’ (where topic is the name of the branch --- e.g., master).

git log -g HEAD

Hope that helps, Jonathan
