- Izkata 2y agoThis goes well with my experience from svn where "svn switch" had a high-enough chance to screw up your checkout that everyone I know just had multiple checkouts instead.
- ghewgill 2y agoYes. This warning in the documentation (and the same warning for "git restore") is doing nothing to help the situation. I've had to put a stake in the ground on this SO answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/215731/893 https://stackoverflow.com/a/215731/893
- epistasis 2y ago> [At the time of writing, the git restore command has been marked as "experimental" for at least four years.] Honestly I have not bothered to even learn switch or restore because of these warnings. If they keep them in after five years, then the commands might be removed in the next version, because clearly there's no champion behind them pushing them forward. And the few times I have tried to learn what they do, I have not seen any benefit over my current knowledge. So why learn something that may go away and is not trusted even five years and many many versions after deployment?
