Another thing to note: when you switch from an old branch, you may wind up
with generated JavaScript files living in the old coffee directories. This
can cause problems for tests that load files via wildcards. We recommend
using the following command to remove any such generated files:
git clean -fdx
See the manual page for more details: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clean
Thanks,
