[egit-dev] Need help with check-outs

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
The work of implementing of a Buckminster git reader is progressing. I'm 
now at the point where I want to add the support for tags. It's a bit 
hard to deduct the right approach by just looking at the source so I 
wonder if someone could help me.

What I would like to now, is the programmatic equivalence of doing:

 git checkout <tagname>  # i.e. detached HEAD

and also how to do:

 git checkout -b <branch> <tagname>

TIA,
Thomas Hallgren
