If you made a lightweight checkout of branch and used pull -r
- --overwrite to update to an earlier version, you would reset the tip of
your branch to that earlier version.  It would be difficult, but not
impossible to restore your branch to its initial state.

This is not typical use case for lightweight checkouts.  Don't do it.
