I've just got around to noticing some of the new (to
me) features in git, and started experimenting with
branches.
I see that when I switch view to a different
branch with:
$ git checkout -f someoldbranch
that any files that exist in my previous branch view
but not in "someoldbranch" are not deleted. I can
find and remove them easily with:
$ git-ls-files --others | xargs rm -f
but I wondered whether this was a deliberate choice
(to avoid clobbering .o files etc. for people who
have run a make in their tree).
Currently git-ls-files doesn't have a way to specify
a branch ... but it it did, the something like:
comm -1 <(git-ls-files -b oldbranch) \
<(git-ls-files -b newbranch) | xargs rm -f
would clean up the spurious files.
