Subject: Bug? ignored files overwritten by checkout
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 06:33:11 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <kuhsn7$84r$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
git init
git commit --allow-empty -m "init"
git checkout -b test
echo foo > foo
git add foo
git commit -am 'add foo'
git checkout master
echo 'Important data' > foo #[1]
echo foo > .gitignore
git checkout test
If I tried a `git checkout test` after [1], I would get the error message
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout: foo
But after adding foo to .gitignore, I am able to checkout to branch test
without warning. Of course this overwrites foo to the version in test.
I tested this in version 1.8.3.4 and 1.7.10.4.
