[PATCH 5/9] gitk: add keyboard bind for checkout

From
JGJens Lidestrom via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Jun 27, 2023, 14:41 UTC
Message-ID
<53e5a2e40abbf81e5577b2f79588bd8b0be6e923.1687876885.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1551.git.1687876884.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Jens Lidestrom <jens@lidestrom.se>

This also introduces the ability to check out detatched heads. This shouldn't result any problems, because gitk already works with detatched heads if they are checked out using the terminal.
