 When <paths> are not given, this command switches branches by
 updating the index and working tree to reflect the specified
 branch, <branch>, and updating HEAD to be <branch> or, if
-specified, <new_branch>.  Using -b will cause <new_branch> to
+specified, <new_branch>. (To also delete untracked content
+use linkgit:git-clean[1].) Using -b will cause <new_branch> to
 be created; in this case you can use the --track or --no-track
 options, which will be passed to `git branch`.
