Hi, I was wondering if someone could explain the following behavior. 1. create and switch to branch off master 2. edit a file in the branch 3. checkout master without committing changes in the branch 4. the changes in the branch are automatically applied in working tree in master I wasn't expecting the changes in the branch to be automatically moved to master. Had I committed while in the branch this doesn't happen. I'm using git version 1.5.3, the details are below. Many thanks!
