Because 'checkout' in other SCMs like CVS or SVN means 'get
latest data from repo', i.e. it acts like 'pull' or 'fetch' in git.
And 'branch' means branch manipulation: creating, deleting,
switching...
Checkout, for me and a lot of people I work with, never meant "get
latest data from repo", it always meant "get me a workspace". Anyway,
just sharing a dissenting opinion, I don't agree that the checkout verb
is used incorrectly in git.
Craig,
I'm not trying to say that git incorrectly uses 'checkout' word :)
