Probably a dumb question (from a non-windows-user), but why not use the native Git for windows? What happens if you run "git status" before running the problematic "git checkout"? (I'm asking because "git status" refreshes the stat-cache, so it may change the result) -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
