As long as the other branch does not touch the same path, it should be kept in the index during the branch switching. "Is it safe" and "does it work like this" questions are easier to answer by a bit of experimenting in a toy repository these days ;-). > 2. How to checkout the changes as recorded in index from git-add that > not yet commit to the working tree? "git checkout -- path"? If you do not have a revision that can be referred to as path (iow the file you are trying to check out of the index is not e.g. "master"), you do not have to say -- and just "git checkout path" should suffice. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
