From ce8936c342a15a08029c71fdc92e283e3624bc18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthieu Moy Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 22:45:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] git-checkout.txt: fix incorrect statement about HEAD and index The command "git checkout" checks out from the index by default, not HEAD (the introducing comment were correct, but the detailled explanation added below were not).
