Correct -- "git checkout NEW" where "new" is the desired branch you wish 
to have "active."

If you have made local changes it will tell you to act on that first; 
the usual is "git stash" to save them.  You can then apply them with 
"git stash apply" to the *new* branch, assuming that makes sense to do 
(e.g. a kernel configuration file, etc.) "Stash" maintains a stack which 
can be manipulated as well (so a "stash" if you already "stash"ed and 
did not drop it creates a second one, aka "stash@(0) and stash@(1)".
