Re: Fwd: Problem: git doesn't update working dir (always) when checkout'ing other branch

["Stian Haklev" <shaklev@gmail.com>]

OK, I made the following script:

do.sh:
git --version > ../file1
date >> ../file1
git status >> ../file1
echo checking out works with old >> ../file1
git checkout works-with-old >> ../file1
git status >> ../file1
git checkout master >> ../file1
git status >> ../file1
date >> ../file1

I ran it, and I got the following result:
nurhaliza:~/wiki stian$ less ../file1
git version 1.5.2.14.g45bde

I should add that I am working in OSX 10.4.9.
