I am not sure whether this is intentional or not. I am wondering why
this scenario fails, and if it is by design, how I should handle this
situation:

[...]

$ git checkout master
fatal: Untracked working tree file 'aFile' would be overwritten by merge.

I tried to reproduce this behaviour, but it worked here. What Git version
do you use? Mine says "git version 1.5.2.rc2.2435.ge5a9b".

Hth,

I tried 1.5.1.3 under cygwin and 1.5.0.6 under Linux FC5.

I can confirm that it reproduces with 1.5.1.3. So, it has been fixed in 
1.5.2.rc2.

Ciao,
