Hi, i tried to create a branch for my fix in lib/driver/gnu_linux.c but now "git diff" shows unintended deviations:
$ git checkout master M include/cdio/types.h M lib/iso9660/iso9660_private.h Switched to branch 'master' Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. $ git pull ... 15 files changed, 334 insertions(+), 195 deletions(-) create mode 100644 test/driver/cdtext.c $ git checkout -b trackno-higher-one M include/cdio/types.h M lib/iso9660/iso9660_private.h Switched to a new branch 'trackno-higher-one' The "M" action is unintended. I want the current original state of "master" as foundation of a new branch "trackno-higher-one". The diff of types.h and iso9660_private.h seems to be about an experiment to silence "riddling error messages which appear if <stdbool.h> is included after <cdio/iso9660.h>": From: "Thomas Schmitt" <scdbac...@gmx.net> To: libcdio-devel@gnu.org Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2018 11:54:53 +0200 Message-Id: <32030804139729892...@scdbackup.webframe.org> What would a git expert do now ? I could revert the pending changes and thus lose the obviously uncommitted experiment. But how would i preserve such an experiment from a different branch while i want to make a change to the remote git repo ? Can i simply keep the changed files, commit only my change to file gnu_linux.c, and push my new branch "trackno-higher-one" without interference by those changes ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
