I can't reproduce this behaviour based on this description alone:

	$ git --version
	git version 1.7.3
	$ uname -a
	Linux ubuntu 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

	$ mkdir /tmp/repo && cd /tmp/repo
	$ git init
	Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/
	$ git config -l
	color.ui=auto
	user.name=René Scharfe
	user.email=rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx
	core.repositoryformatversion=0
	core.filemode=true
	core.bare=false
	core.logallrefupdates=true

	$ echo 1 >a
	$ git add a
	$ git commit -m.
	[master (root-commit) b0e60d3] .
	 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
	 create mode 100644 a

	$ git branch x
	$ echo uncommitted >a
	$ echo untracked >b

	$ git checkout x
	M	a
	Switched to branch 'x'

	$ cat a
	uncommitted
	$ cat b
	untracked

Can you reconstruct what your colleague did, perhaps using his or her shell's command history file (e.g. ~/.bash_history)?
