Re: Switching branches without committing changes

Thanks for the replies.  I definitely like the stashing approach.  Is  
there any overhead or caveat to using stash a lot?

Use `git checkout -m` to switch the branch anyway.  However, if
there is a merge conflict while you are trying to carry the changes
to the other branch you may be faced with a merge conflict you are
not prepared to resolve, or simply cannot resolve in a reasonable
period of time.

Ah, for some reason I didn't think of '-m' in the advice I gave (I  
guess
I have just never used it). It is almost certainly simpler than  
using a
'stash' at this point (but I do think stashing _beforehand_ still has
advantages).
