Changes in your working directory are not branch-specific. If you change a file without committing it, you can switch (checkout) branches as much as you want. It's only when you commit that the changes get connected to a branch.
If you want to immediately stash away local changes for fixing something in master, then resume to work on NewBranch later on, there's a neat command called "stash" which is great for this: http://book.git-scm.com/4_stashing.html (Note: Stashes are also branch-independent.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
