So perhaps, we >>> could s/checkout/switch here? Besides, the reason why it is no longer experimental is *not* because it has proved to be so much better than "checkout" and the users are encouraged to use it. It is no longer experimental only because it and its set of options are now engraved in users' mustle memory deep enough that we can no longer change it without disrupting users. We were hoping to improve its end-user experience relative to "checkout", and allowed it to deviate from the precendent that was set by "git checkout", and that was the reason why "this is experimental. UI and behaviour is subject to change" label was on it. The experiment unfortunately was not a great success. There were only a few meaningful differences invented during the experiment.
