Why not allow something like
git-checkout master~5
which implicitly does create a read-only branch "seek-point"?
I do not think that it is important to remember the branch name you seek
from.
A branch could be marked readonly by above command with
chmod a-w .git/refs/heads/seek
And git-commit should refuse to commit on a readonly ref, telling
the user to create a writable branch before with "git-branch new".
This would also help "cg-seek" to prohibit the user to commit on
"cg-seek-point" via "git-commit" (by setting cg-seek-point read-only).
BTW, "origin" (and any local branch that tracks a remote one) should
be set to readonly this way to signal that these are not developer
branches.
