commit

I'm using git gui and I can't see my branch.

I know I checked something in today.

I changed to an earlier branch after I did my commit and verified it with the branch viewer. I made changes to the earlier branch and then wanted to go back to my current branch, but I can't see it any more. Any help would be great.
