Well, I'm a developer and *I* also had that problem while working
on my "ajax" branch.

Maybe git-checkout should by default *warn* when it is leaving
things in the tree that are indexed but not updated in the index
(committed?).  And you'd have to add a --no-warn thingy to turn
that off.  Then beginners wouldn't be quite as confused.  I'm not
talking about things that are .gitignore'd... just things like
walt's example.
