title: Want to git checkout tag, but no files?
body: <p>I can do: git checkout tags/v1.0 but where's the files? git log shows it worked, but I need the files. My current subdirectory is not populated with tagged files; how do you get the tagged version of files?</p>
  
  <p>Real example: clone the git repo, then check a given tag: </p>
  
  <pre>
  git clone https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate.git
  git tag --list
  git checkout v4.3.0
  </pre>
  
  <p>That's what html5-boilerplate.git advises, and I understand that part. I can checkout a given annotated tagged version, but how do I pull the files out, so that I can actually review the code in the current subdirectory? Do I need to do something like rebasing to pull the files into the current subdirectory somehow? I'm missing the basic technique, and I can't seem to find help on this question elsewhere.</p>
