Hi Vinod, i tried with the path you sent but no success .I mean is it not really switched to branch-2 ,and calling the "git branch -a" displays "no branch" .Working directory still contains trunk not branch-2 contents. what i get in console is :
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout. If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example: git checkout -b new_branch_name HEAD is now at 72713e0... HDFS-4748. Merge r1476587 from trunk.
