I think some users will expect to get a clean checkout when simply 
doing "git checkout <branch>".  It would be nice for the documentation 
mention that is not the case, and reference the tool that helps get the 
tree into that state.  Just my opinion, though.

It seems natural to me for this to be mentioned in the 'git checkout' 
documentation.  Perhaps there's a better place?
