Re: the standard hotfix from production scenario not working for me in git...

/Can you just do 'git checkout -b newHitfix145 master' ?/

Coooooool, one less step!!!!! I think I remember reading that at somepoint,
but forgot about it.

/0. Would it help to use 'git status' to make sure that you don't have 
untracked flies kicking around?/

Not really, I know that I have untracked files lying around(and frequently
do git status currently anyways)

/Personally I would try to avoid having untracked files around, but maybe 
that's just me.  I usually find I only have a few untracked files at any
given time 
(after all, how fast can most people create new code?) so just keeping 
them tracked isn't a problem. Then 'git commit -a' will do the right 
thing won't it?/

On a prototype project, the rate of file creation is pretty high so I
frequently have untracked files....and I 99% of the time never have an
untracked file that I won't be checking in eventually(excluding the
.gitignore files of course), so having to do a specific step with them is
quite annoying.

Also, having to rm each file is "very" annoying...anyway to just do a git
commit ALL(which includes untracked files(except for .gitignore specified
ones), deleted files, modified files...I think that is the whole list).  

If I could do a git commit ALL, and then when I get back to that branch,
maybe there is a way to do a git reset HEAD BUT restore the committed files
to the filesystem as untracked/unstaged, etc. etc????

Today, I just copied the whole repository since I was having so much trouble
so then it is easier to do what I want, but the fact that I have to do that
feels like I am back in svn again where I did that as well so I would just
switch between directories when working on a hotfix...feels like there
should be a way in git as I thought git was avoiding that situation.

thanks,
Dean
