Subject: How do you switch branches in a bare repo?
Message-ID: <4B99DEA2.6050104@uq.edu.au>

Hi all,

I want to remove some commits (with git reset) from a bare repo, but 
they're not in the master branch and I can't figure out how to change 
branches:

$ git checkout newbranch
fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

I've tried running the reset locally and pushing the change (with -f) 
but that doesn't work either, and Google isn't being much help.

How do you switch between branches in a bare repo?

Many thanks,
Adam.
