If I need to do that, I would do: git checkout branch && git reset --hard ref.

Another way to do it is: git branch -D branch && git checkout -b branch ref.

So, we have enough porcelain commands to do it.  I would recommend a
second thought to see if your refinement is really necessary.  I would
agree so if those procedures are needed very often.

If you be careful It won't make any change.  I will comment that on
the series if needed.

Thanks very much for asking.

Kind regards
