Because you have not as yet instructed git to manage the new file, git does not do anything with it when you change branches. You have not told git which branch the new file belongs to, so it leaves it alone. Make sense? To get the result you expect, you must commit the new file to your test branch. Then, git will remove it when you checkout 'master', and restore it when you checkout 'test'. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
