I think you will get an error only if there is a conflict between the two branches. Let's say there are two files A and B in master. You create branch new, change file A, then try to change branch, it would let you, and carry over the changes to the checked out master branch.
But if you have changed file A in branch new, committed it, then changed it again, then try to switch branch, it won't let you because the change cannot be carried over because the two branches have different versions of file A.
