Re: newbie question

Until you commit the files, the changes will follow you to whatever branch
you go to. If you don't want to commit, but still want to switch to B and
not see the changes in A, I would recommend using `git stash`.

e.g.

git checkout A
...edit...
git stash save changes
git checkout B
git status

You'll see that your tree is clean. To get your changes back to A, just run

git checkout A
git stash pop changes

Best,
Dan
