2019-05-07Declare both git-switch and git-restore experimentalLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+2
These two commands are basically redesigned git-checkout. We will not have that many opportunities to redo (because we run out of verbs, and that would also increase maintenance cost). To play it safe, let's declare the two commands experimental in one or two releases. If there is a serious flaw in the UI, we could still fix it. If everything goes well and nobody complains loudly, we can remove the experimental status by reverting this patch.

2019-04-02checkout: split part of it to new command 'switch'Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+271
"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most of users) are sick of it. See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout" and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will adjust their behavior to match the man page.
