I have files I move around between several different environments, and in each environment I have a config file (web.config) that is unique to each environment.
I make changes on my machine, push them to a repository, move to a development machine and "pull" them from the repository, then move them to to a test machine and "pull" them from the repository, etc. Through some trial and error I figured out that "most of the time" if I put my web.config into my .gitignore file everything works fine, but not always. Right now I'm spending my afternoon trying to figure out why whenever I checkout the "master" branch it deletes my web.config file. It happens like this. I will have my web.config file in my directory and then checkout a branch into that directory (e.g. git checkout new-search) and everything is fine. If I switch to another branch (e.g. git checkout fix-search) everything is fine as well. But when I check out the master branch (e.g. git checkout master) it deletes my web.config file. Why is it deleting my config file and more importantly, how can I get it to stop doing that so that I can spend my time working on code and not fussing with git?
