Another irritating thing is that creating a new branch does not /switch 
to/ that branch. Just now I created a new branch, did a commit, and then 
realised it updated the old branch, not the new one.

Fortunately, since a "branch" is simply a bookmark, all I need to do is 
wind the new branch forward and wind the old one backwards. 
Unfortunately, NetBeans can wind a branch forward, but cannot easily 
wind backwards. Fortunately gitk can, but then NetBeans is confused, 
until I switch branches back and forth a few times.

Damn that was irritating! LOL.
