git checkout <branchname> systematicaly modify files

This is driving me crazy and I can't find why it's doing this...

git clone [email protected]:/my/working/repo.git
--I don't do anything in the working copy--
git status
--no modification/no file to be commited--
git checkout another_branch
--I don't do anything in the working copy--
git status
modified: /some/file/that/I/touched.php
modified: /some/file/that/I/touched2.php
modified: /some/file/that/I/touched3.php

And when I do a git diff it shows only some line ending modifications. I see you coming... You're gonna tell me that I have to set autocrlf to false... Already tried that, and changes nothing...

If anyone has an idea on how to fix this i'd be more than pleased...

Thank you.

You should try:

git clone [email protected]:/my/working/repo.git
git branch another_branch
git checkout another_branch
git pull origin another_branch

I hope it should work for you.

Because if we do git checkout another_branch directly it will switch to the Remote branch not creating branch locally.

Second way is:

do git checkout -b another_branch
