From: J.V. Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2013 00:30:29 GMT Subject: git checkout problem Message-ID: <51280DA5.800@gmail.com> I was on my master branch, I checked out a branch (origin/somebranch), did nothing, made no updates but did a few git pulls over about a week; made a small change to one file & comitted & pushed. Now am trying to go back to my master branch and get: error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout: lib/derbyclient.jar Please move or remove them before you can switch branches. Aborting I did not put that file there, how do I get back to my master branch? I do not want to muck up the branch that I am now one. Obviously someone put derbyclient.jar there, not sure, but it is supposed to be there so do not want to remove. any ideas?
