   state in Jujutsu (there's actually no way -- yet, at least -- to have an
   active branch). However, Jujutsu keeps track of all visible heads (leaves) of
   the commit graph, so the commits won't get lost or garbage-collected.
+* **No current branch.** Git lets you check out a branch, making it the 'current
+  branch', and new commits will automatically update the branch. This is
+  necessary in Git because Git might otherwise lose track of the new commits.
+  Jujutsu does not have a 'current branch'; instead, you update branches
+  manually. For example, if you check out a commit with a branch, new commits
+  are created on top of the branch, then you issue a later command to update the
+  branch.
 * **Conflicts can be committed.** No commands fail because of merge conflicts.
   The conflicts are instead recorded in commits and you can resolve them later.
