RE: undoing something

The documentation is indeed wrong.  It is more like "create a new
branch,
or if the named branch already exists, reset the tip of it".  

Awesome.  Then  git branch -f name newpos  is exactly what I need.  

I wondered why something that should be so simple, and is available from
every GUI, is not easy from the command line.
