Re: List of files aded/removed/modified by "git-checkout"

quoted

Whenever I do a git-checkout to switch between branches, I'm
disappointed by the absence of a "-v" option which would list the
operations performed.

How can I get this information?

I'd be mightily annoyed with it myself, though, as I switch
between 'master', 'next', 'pu' and 'maint' pretty often.

Why would such a "-v" option bother you?  Nobody forces you to use it.

Have something like this in .git/hooks/post-checkout and make it
executable, perhaps?  Modify the options to suit your taste.

That doesn't really cut it: I'd like to use it in a git frontend.

I agree.

Well, this request does not really cut it: it lacks a patch.  And yes, you 
have been given enough information to hack it yourself.  No, I will not do 
something about it; this is not my itch.

Hth,
