Twice today, on different machines, I have been in a position where I
wanted to switch from master to a different branch, only to get an error
message like this:
$ git checkout -b nwellnhof/compiler_flags origin/nwellnhof/compiler_flags
error: Untracked working tree file 'tools/dev/pbc_to_exe.pir' would be
overwritten by merge.
This is a new error. Looking into tools/dev/pbc_to_exe.pir, I see:
$ head tools/dev/pbc_to_exe.pir
# THIS IS A GENERATED FILE! DO NOT EDIT!
# Compiled with Winxed 1.9.0
# Source file: tools/dev/pbc_to_exe.winxed
# Begin generated code
Moving that file out of the way permits the git checkout to proceed --
but I doubt that's the best solution.
What should we do?
Thank you very much.
