I'm sorry to be quibbling over semantics, truly I am!  But here
is my confusion:  if modified-but-uncommitted (hence dirty) files
are not associated with *any* branch, then how could 'dirty' files
be 'in' both branches (or 'in' any branch at all)?

Thanks for your continued patience with me!  I hate to distract you
from your real work -- I can only hope that others are learning as
much from your answers as I am.
