"git checkout" resets modified files
Version git 2.5.0,
Description:
I was automating a process that would pull and switch to another
branch when I stumbled across this. I have not been able to emulate
this from command line but using go (or I imagine other languages are
similar) if you execute a command like
exec.Command("git","checkout","")
A checkout with the branch parameter but the branch parameter is empty.
The result is git resets the the repository, modified files are reset
back to original state without warning.
I would expect the behavior should be the same as a "git checkout" command
Has anyone else seen something like this ? For myself the solution was
to simply suppress passing in the revision as a third argument if the
revision was empty. But this does appear to be an off behavior.
Thanks
