For the record, mostly... (this is how it already is in git-pasky-0.5)
Dear diary, on Sun, Apr 17, 2005 at 02:07:36AM CEST, I got a letter

I killed them both for good.

I've removed git branch, removed the possibility for git update to
switch branches and renamed git update to git seek. You can do
git seek git-pasky-0.1
and examine stuff, but your tree is also blocked at the same time - git
won't let you commit, merge and such. By doing
git seek
or
git seek master
you return back to your branch (assuming its name is master).
I think git fork is after all good enough for branching and it is the
clean way. Shall there be a big demand for it, it should be minimal
hassle to implement 'git switch', which would do that.
