You > are right, but I am not able to understand this one, my bad! :( Untracked files and modifications to files in your working directory do not belong to your current branch. This is to allow you, after starting to work on one branch then realizing that the changes and additions you are making do not belong there, to switch to a more appropriate branch at that point without losing your work so far, taking these changes and additions with you to the branch you want to commit your changes to. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
