Actually, on my git (1.6.0.4) this just magically works due to the
fact that 'git init' sets up the repository with HEAD pointing to
refs/heads/master (which doesn't exist yet) and you go ahead and
create the master branch with the 'git branch' command.
In other words, in this particular situation the 'git checkout'
command is completely unnecessary and if you just run a 'git status'
you should already see that git sees all the differences already as
local edits (assuming you didn't call you branch in the 'git branch'
step something other than master).
