Overview
Check Out the HEAD of a Branch
git checkout <branch-name>
This has the semantics of switching to the designated branch.
Checkout a Tag into a Detached HEAD
The following command checks out a specific tag - technically the commit that corresponds to the given tag - into a detached HEAD branch.
git checkout <tag-name|commit-id>
git checkout RESTEASY_JAXRS_2_3_2_FINAL
Reposition the local repository on the HEAD of a branch
git checkout <other-existing-branch-name>
git checkout master

While being in a detached HEAD situation:
git checkout -b <name-of-a-new-branch>
