$repo = new Repository('/path/to/working-dir');
$wc = $repo->getWorkingCopy();

You can checkout any revision using checkout method. You can also pass a second argument, which will be passed as argument with -b:

// git checkout master
$wc->checkout('master');

// git checkout origin/master -b master
$wc->checkout('origin/master', 'master');

You can also pass a Reference or a Commit.

$diff = $wc->getDiffStaged();
