Guys,

After I have switched to a new branch in Eclipse, from branch1 to branch2, my ref/head now points to the new branch, but how do i refresh the project in my local repository so i can see the code?

it still shows me the code from branch1, i want to see branch2 code

If you check out another branch this should be immediately reflected in the Eclipse workspace.

Note that Eclipse only shows resources located under an Eclipse project.
If there are some additional Eclipse projects in branch2 which are not present in branch1 you
may need to import these new Eclipse projects by selecting the repository in the repositories view
and clicking "Import projects".

If you modified some files and didn't commit these changes (they are decorated with ">")
these modifications will stay when you switch to another branch in order to prevent that you
loose these changes (git command line behaves in the same way).
