Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

Accidently I tried to switch to another branch while my RCP-App was still running in debug mode. The checkout failed with an message saying: Could not replace myjar.jar. Afterwards I retried the checkout but it fails with the error message shown in the first screenshot. 
Then i did an git status on the command line. The result was an working-dir with lots of modified files, and an untracked file named like the jar-file mentioned above (screen 2).
I then tried an git checkout -f to clean up my working dir but git didn't allow this (screen 3). 

I deleted the index.lock file manually and then the checkout -f worked and i was able to continue my work.


Reproducible: Always
