Hi,

I currently try getting in this git thing and looked
also into cogito.
I would prefer cg-switch over git-checkout because of
the -l (and also -p) switch that I hoped will do what
I want.

Because pure cg-switch leads to problems with
uncommitted local changes and quite different files in
the destination branch, I'd like to alias cg-switch to
cg-switch -l.

But if -l is always set, the following happens:

> master
  Testing

File is in status of master.

$ cg-switch -l Testing
Saving local changes...
Switching to branch Testing...

   .cg-shelve-master  
s  master
>  Testing

File is in status of Testing.

$ cg-switch -l master
Saving local changes...
cg-commit: Nothing to commit

   .cg-shelve-master
>  .cg-shelve-Testing  
s  master
s  Testing

File is still in status of Testing.
But I'd expect getting my successfully saved master
status back.

Is that the desired behaviour?

Johannes
