Does 'git checkout --force yourLocalBranch' help?

stuck and need unstuck (git checkout)

[J.V.]

I was on a branch (local tracked with remote), and I wanted to checkout 
a remote branch so did:

$git co myRemoteBranch

and got a message that a lot of jar files were being untracked (files 
were locked).  I had a server running that had some of the jar files 
locked, so it could not update and untracked them all.


What I want to do now is:
1. switch branches
2. delete this locally created branch
3.  re-check out again so all will be well.

I cannot switch branches because it says my untracked files will be 
overwritten.  How do I switch branches? I have no commits to make and 
simply want to go back.  git reset and git stash do not get me there.


thanks

J.V.
