Technically, they don't show up in any branch because the file isn't 
tracked.  If a file isn't tracked, it exists outside git's "system", and 
the file will appear the same in all branches (but it's not in any of 
them.  If you wipe the directory and then do a git pull, the file won't be 
there at all).
