The docs/index.html used to be generated by configure (and now it's not). So you get this error when you have a dirty tree and try to checkout a newer commit where the generated version will get overwritten by the new non-generated version.

Hi devs

I've started to get this a lot

bash$ git rebase origin/master First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout: docs/index.html Please move or remove them before you switch branches. Aborting fatal: Could not detach HEAD

Removing docs/index.html makes things work again. What am I doing wrong?
