The checkout command rejects more than one revision, and the Checkout scene accepts no start point. Its branch-creation path always draws the new branch at the current HEAD.
The command now accepts one optional start point with -b and validates that it resolves to a commit. The scene draws the target history when needed, places the new branch and HEAD at the target, and keeps the original branch at its previous commit.
#110
