I just replied to Avery about that.  -- is always the way to disambiguate
between refs (that come before --) and paths (that come after --), not
limited to "git checkout" but with other commands such as "git log", "git
diff", etc.

Stupid quesiton --- where is this documented?  I don't see this
documented either in the man page for git or git-checkout.

You are asking a wrong person.  My git knowledge mostly comes from
yearlong reading of the mailing list articles, and doing a bit myself also
helps ;-).
