I do not mind leaving this topic out of 'master' for now, if that would help migrate people only once instead of twice. I think the real UI improvement would come with the new pair of commands split out of here, "switch-branches" and "restore-files", which will not happen within the timeframe of the current cycle anyway.

In any case, I think it is probably sensible to revert this step. Will queue; thanks.
