Hi I am sorry for this elementary question, but I am a regular mercurial user and I am confused about the following
I want to pull the latest changes git pull I obtain ,---- | Updating 83a915d..8c80430 | error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: | lisp/vc/diff-mode.el | lisp/vc/vc.el | Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge. | Aborting `---- that is a bit odd, mercurial would allow the pull and would not need to stash (shelve) anyhow. So I want to commit these changes but to a different branch. So I run git branch vc-diff-disp The branch is created git branch -a * master vc-diff-disp But not active. So I cannot commit git ci ,---- | On branch master | Your branch is behind 'origin/master' by 1915 commits, and can be fast-forwarded. | (use "git pull" to update your local branch) | Changes not staged for commit: | modified: lisp/vc/diff-mode.el | modified: lisp/vc/vc.el | | no changes added to commit | `---- At this state I am lost (in mercurial after the branch command, it would commit to that branch, but git does not) I tried out git checkout -b vc-diff-disp fatal: A branch named 'vc-diff-disp' already exists.
