+<div class="sectionbody">

+<div class="paragraph"><p>When there is only one argument given and it is not <code>--</code> (e.g. "git

+checkout abc"), and when the argument is both a valid <code>&lt;tree-ish&gt;</code>

+(e.g. a branch "abc" exists) and a valid <code>&lt;pathspec&gt;</code> (e.g. a file

+or a directory whose name is "abc" exists), Git would usually ask

+you to disambiguate.  Because checking out a branch is so common an

+operation, however, "git checkout abc" takes "abc" as a <code>&lt;tree-ish&gt;</code>

+in such a situation.  Use <code>git checkout -- &lt;pathspec&gt;</code> if you want

+to checkout these paths out of the index.</p></div>
