git checkout 报错原因 （error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to ）

以下是发生的场景
在一个空的目录中（/tempRepo）
执行：
[color=violet][b]git init[/b][/color]
成功创建一个空的git仓库
[color=red][size=xx-small]注：现在tempRepo上除了.git文件夹外，没有任何文件
然后继续创建并打开一个分支(dev)[/size][/color]
执行：

[color=violet][b]git checkout -b dev[/b][/color]

现在想checkout 到 master分支
执行：
[color=violet][b]git checkout master [/b][/color]
或
[color=violet][b]git checkout -[/b][/color]

正常情况下是可以回到master分支的

不过这时是报错误的，错误信息如下：

[color=red]error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.[/color]

这里是因为，还没有文件被提交过。即没有commit 过任何文件。

当commit过以后就可以切换分支了

备注：此时执行：git branch，只显示有dev 这个branch。

不过我们可以直接再创建一个master出来。
