It works by creating a new branch cg-seek-point and storing the seeked
point there; if HEAD is already on the branch, it merely changes the
seek point and resets the working tree appropriately. cg-seek without
any arguments will then return to your original head, whose name was
stored in .git/head-name.

And if you want to prevent accidental commit, just "chmod a-w 
$GIT_DIR/index".

That is a wrong answer.  It is perfectly sane to modify index
without an intention to commit that change (you can always say
"git reset").
