What did you do?

Switched git branches, then ran git status

What did you expect to see?

nothing to commit, working tree clean

What did you see instead?

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

        modified:   go.mod

Switched git branches, then ran git status

These instructions are not enough to demonstrate your problem.

I tried this:

c:\Users\Alex\dev\src\b>git status
On branch a1
nothing to commit, working tree clean

c:\Users\Alex\dev\src\b>git checkout a2
Switched to branch 'a2'

c:\Users\Alex\dev\src\b>git status
On branch a2
nothing to commit, working tree clean

c:\Users\Alex\dev\src\b>

I don't see what you see.

@alexbrainman After the weekend, this issue is not reproducing. Closing now until I can reproduce definitively.
