yes it does. your example uses "git checkout versionB .", which is
NOT "git checkout <something>"
we are suggesting you do "git checkout versionB" which is different
(HINT: there is NO dot), and which i'm 99% positive will work.
if you still disagree, then i'm sure mercurial will be sufficient for
your needs, and all your dcvs book-lernin' over christmas will be
transferrable.
good luck with whatever option you choose.
