Heartily seconded.  I think checkout is the most egregrious of the
three.  git-checkout can be used to:

    * Switch branches
    * Create a branch
    * Change the state of all files to a particular commit
    * Change the state of a particular file to that of the index
    * Change the state of a particular file (and index) to a particular
      commit

To makes things more complicated, several of these tasks can be done
with other commands.  Short of rewriting git from scratch, what can be
done to simplify the many-to-many mapping of tasks to commands?
