=46or the future, =E2=80=98git checkout C2=E2=80=99 might work better f=
or this task.
Unlike =E2=80=98git reset=E2=80=99, it does not change where the curren=
t branch head
points, so when you=E2=80=99re done exploring you can get back to where=
 you
were with =E2=80=98git checkout topic=E2=80=99 (where topic is the name=
 of the branch
--- e.g., master).

git log -g HEAD

Hope that helps,
