[Klug-general] GIT / check out specific revision

[james morris]

Kinda felt like I should have been able to help here as I use git
quite frequently (at times!). Trouble is I only ever really need to
use such a small subset of what it can do:

git add . -v
git commit -m 'fix the thing that was broken'
git push

and less frequently these individual commands:

git checkout someotherbranch
git checkout somefileimadeasillymistakein
git rm thatfileishoulddelete

anything else and its hats off to big brother google.
