git checkout v1.4.0
# dang, need some local fix
git commit -m tmpfix -a
git reset --hard v1.2.0
git reset --hard v1.3.0
# dang, need that local again fix - where is it?
It ain't in ORIG_HEAD. Its now only findable by
fsck-objects/lost-found. But if you reflog a detached
HEAD its there as HEAD@{2}.
Maybe its not really worth it. But it almost seems like it would
come free if we always use update-ref like we're supposed to...
