As listed, your script produces the same results on msysGit.

It appears the issue is related to sparse checkouts:

---%<--- #!/bin/sh

rm -Rf utest || exit 1 mkdir utest || exit 1 cd utest || exit 1 git init git config core.sparseCheckout true echo *>.git/info/sparse-checkout echo tracked>a git add a git commit -m a a git branch side echo tracked>b git add b git commit -m b cat b git checkout side cat b echo untracked>b cat b git checkout master cat b ---%<---
