    As a casual git user I imagine the process normally goes something like this:

    1. Development happens.
    2. New feature makes it into the release version of git.
    3. New version makes it into the various linux distro repositories.
    4. People who run big git repos install the update.
    5. Serious nerds hear about it and use the feature.
    6. Many years pass.
    7. I learn about it, if it’s widely used enough.

      The big change in my opinion is we don’t need to tell newcomers about git checkout at all. Git switch --create is much better.
