I havn't look at the patch (not a regression between 1.7.7 and 1.7.8 so
not a candidate for the remainder of this cycle), but I like the above
description quite a lot. I think Linus's "git reset --sane" which was
initially called "git reset --merge" but ended up as "git reset --keep"
should have been spelled as "checkout -B <current-branch>" from the
beginning.
It is more convenient if you don't have to spell out the name of the
current branch (which fails if you aren't on a branch).
