Thank you very much for your help. I have removed the branches
'workspace' and 'msize'. By the way I am not used to work with branches,
but it seems to me very elegant and comfortable to do the changes in
different branches.

I think the problem is, that I use the plugin Egit with Eclipse. It is a
very comfortable tool, but because I do not know Git very well, I have
problems to find all the default settings which affect the behavior.
