As far as I know, they did. You have to commit files in the branch for their changes to be local to the branch. IIRC, git will prevent you from switching branches if you have staged uncommitted changes. To save changes without committing them and switch branches, you can use "git stash", but it won't stop you from applying the stash to whatever branch (although it does show what branch they were stashed on). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
