It is not April 1st, but perhaps it is in Berlin ;-)

By the way I do not necessarily think that different operations "checking out specific paths" and "checking out another branch" should be invoked by separate commands. It of course would be easier to _implement_ because the command does not have to see which operation the user wants, but if humans use the same verb to express these actions, the command should help them do so.
