I often get this (running git 1.5.6.rc0 presently): y:/usr/src/git26> git-checkout linux-next error: Untracked working tree file 'arch/x86/kernel/apic.c' would be overwritten by merge. which screws things up. I fix it by removing the offending file, which gets irritating because git bails out after the first such instance, so I need to rerun git-checkout once per file (there are sometimes tens of them). Should this be happening? I don't know what causes it, really. All I've been doing in that directory is running `git-checkout' against various maintainers' trees. 95% of the time this works OK but eventually git seems to get all confused and the above happens. Is there some way in which I can work around this with a single command rather than having to run git-checkout once per offending file? I suppose a good old `rm -rf *' would do it...
