You've created file.txt indeed, but not in the *master branch* (or any branch). You've created it in the working directory.

Until then, git won't touch the file when you switch between branches. -- Sergey. -- 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
