Re: .gitignore vs untracked working file

Hello,

quoted

$ git checkout master
error: Untracked working tree file 'Project/bin/path/file.jjt' would
be overwritten by merge.

What is the output of

       $ git ls-files master bin/

Nothing:

$ git ls-files master bin/
$ git ls-files master Project/bin/
$ git ls-files mybranch bin/
$ git ls-files mybranch Project/bin/

$ ll 'Project/bin/path/file.jjt'
-rw-r--r--    1 bost  Administ     8233 May 10  2006 Project/bin/path/file.jjt
$ git ls-files ''Project/bin/path/file.jjt'

BTW the rule to ignore bin/ is exclusively in the .gitignore on the
branch mybranch not in the master branch. Might this be the problem?
