Re: can git reset or checkout be reverted?

If I want to recall a old version of testing by

git reset --hard sha1
or
git checkout sha1

then git log does not show anything beyond that commit. It does give
some warning and recommend -b switch next time.  If I only do that by
accident or ignorance.  How to revert to the original HEAD?

  git checkout ORIG_HEAD

or

  git checkout HEAD@{1}

You can check it out wrt. second form using "git reflog" ("git log -g").
