I've harped on this before, but what you want from a "bound branch"
and what you want from a "checkout" are subtly but importantly
different concepts.  What we have now as a [heavy] checkout is
something that almost, but not quite, does one, while almost, but not
quite, doing the other.  The solution is not really re-defining both
to be the current   :)
