Shouldn't "git checkout topic path" make the directory tree
rooted at path identical to what is on branch topic? It doesn't.
Try this:
mkdir test
cd test
git init
touch a b
git add a b
git commit -m 'base'
git checkout -b topic
git rm a
git commit -m 'removed a'
git checkout master
git checkout topic .
...and the result is...
ls
a b
instead of
b
No, the behaviour is correct.
- first you removed the file on the topic branch; at the same time
you removed it from your working tree
- then you switched back to the master branch and so the file was
added back to your working tree
- then you switched back to the topic branch, and seeing as the file
"a" is not being tracked in the topic branch Git doesn't touch it
In general, Git only meddles with stuff that you've told it to track.
This is actually a good thing in most cases because it makes some
workflows involving dirty trees or trees with untracked content
somewhat more convenient.
