Always (almost) before I run 'git fetch'. I do it to check that I have not made any local modifications that I need to get rid of before fetching and that I do not have stale files around. One example is my copy of Linus' kernel tree. I use it now and then for small experiments (can I reporoduce this bug etc) and when fetching I want it to be gone. Sam
