You specified checking out a branch which is completely different than checking out a file by commit-hash.

  of course you are correct. i am sorry. i was doing it from memory. you can leave out the commit-hash too, to get the same effect. not at a computer now but i think i remember "git checkout <commit-hash> * " being extra fun. update, this is what i meant: "git checkout * " "git checkout <commit-hash> * " "git checkout <branch> * " each have the same warningless wipeout of uncommitted changes.
