Re: Git branches - confusing behavior

My proposed change shouldn't necessarily break the described workflow. Git can keep the current behavior for new branches, but automatically 'stash' the changes when checking-out an existing branch. At least having an optional parameter for "auto-stashing" will be nice.

What do you think of that?

you can do just that with an alias, in .git/config add:

[alias]
        auto-stash = !git stash && git checkout $1

then type "git auto-stash master" or "git auto-stash some_branch" and
it should stash and checkout the branch.
