In other words, when you do git checkout 3256678, exactly what "place" do the files and directory structures they might have been in when you did the commit 3256678, come from to populate your Working Directory. By "Working Directory", I mean where you can use ls to list them, emacs to edit them, rm to delete them, manipulate them with zfs, etc.. And "from" means The Index, The Working Tree, The Object Store. I am a newbie, so please try to make your answer as simple as possible. My feeling is that the Object Store holds that commit, and when you check it out, you just get a copy of the tag, commit, tree, and blob(s) from what is in the Object Store. Thanks!
