 "git checkout <word>" does not follow the usual disambiguation
 rules when the <word> can be both a rev and a path, to allow
 checking out a branch 'foo' in a project that happens to have a
 file 'foo' in the working tree without having to disambiguate.
 This was poorly documented and the check was incorrect when the
 command was run from a subdirectory.

 Waiting for an Ack for fixup!

Oops, I didn't know (I have about 300 unread git mails in my inbox), Ack.

Thanks.
