I hope one day the git-checkout man page will document what git-checkout does. I believe that when classified in terms of their differing fates, there are two or three different types of files that might be sitting around in one's working tree at the time a "git checkout comes down on their heads". Perhaps a brief table of their different fates might nice to have on the bottom of the man page. OK, never mind.
