Kerberos?
Eros from the love god, as others have hinted. Not sure on the rest though, so I assume it's wrong... I guess it could be Kerb like the thing on the edge of pavement?

Yay!
That's the one.
I was being a little naughty in not having an overly literal literal i.e "in a spin about planetoid" but I figured that people would know that it was likely to be a moon.
I was going to add a hint (as I'm on the road tomorrow) that the "plantoid" would have been "planet" a few years back as poor old Pluto has been demoted (rather unfairly to my mind but we'll save that particular hot topic for the Soapbox, where it belongs)!

I actually thought "planetoid" on it's own was the indicator for moon, and the spin bit was just to indicate swapping Eros and Kerb around. Now you have explained it, it's a nice way to say moon

Or Eros (love-god) at the end of the word.

Preface: I am learning Git (since some years , very slowly) and English is not my native language. So, I don't know that what I believe about 'check-in' and 'check-out' is correct in English or not.
If I am in/on a Git branch, shouldn't it be called 'checked in branch' instead of 'checked out branch'?
If I 'checkout' (from) a branch then shouldn't it actually get me out of that branch?
And what is the command to 'get out from current branch'?
Is it possible that I am not in/on any Git branch?

It's like a library: you join the library, and they give you a membership ticket.
You want a book, you hand it and the ticket to the librarian and she records that you have it and you can take it away to read.
When you are finished, you return the book and she records against your ticket that you returned the book.
Getting the book is called "checking out", returning it is called "checking in". These terms have been used for hundreds - possibly thousands! - of years, and they refer to historical usage when the identity of the book was physically checked against the records and your library ticket.
When source control was invented, these terms were adopted for pretty much the same events: to get a copy of the code, you "checked out" the branch. When you are done modifying, you "checked in" your changes.
English can be a strange language, and you shouldn't take technical terms too literally!

Except when you check out that book what happens is that the librarian creates an exact duplicate for you to borrow.
When you bring the book back the librarian then has to find the book on the shelf and duplicate all the crumpled pages, missing pages, dog ears and notes you have put in the margin of the page.
Woe betide should you have borrowed the same book at the same time as someone else and both added different notes to the same page or crumpled the same page in a different manner.
Now when you check the book in the librarian has to figure out whether your page crumple or that of the other person should be applied to the book being held in stock.
I feel sorry for librarians.

Been doing this = managing the main source code stream for several years in a team of more than 50 people. Never again. Librarian is highly interesting since you are the one knowing every single part of the code after some time, but resolving conflicts, in the code while merging and of course among the developers in the team, is exhausting.

You have my sympathy and respect.
Fortunately where I work we commit and merge our own changes, so we are personally responsible for resolving merge conflicts.
I can imagine that having to resolve other people's merge conflicts is no easy task.

Shops (even online ones) use the same terminology: you "go to the checkout" to pay for your goods, and then leave or they are dispatched.
And if you think English is strange, don't even glance in the direction of Welsh!
