Essentially, it seems like a "feature" for people who can't or don't want multiple open work areas so ensure the right things get committed on the right branches, since they very well may be working on multiple branches at the same time in the same tree. See this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6270193/multiple-working-directories-with-git The staging area can be disabled / skipped, but that's how it has been explained to me. -- Scott Robison
