Why does the “checkout wizard” take longer than the “checkout feature-branch”?

Question

I just noticed, sometimes when switching between master and feature-branch, even when everything is already pulled / pressed + updated ...

If i do

git checkout featureBranch

it is instant (and no progress information).

But when I do

git checkout master

It takes more time and you will also receive progress information:

Checking out files: 100% (312/312), done.

And this behavior is repeated even when I just switch back and forth several times.

Just curious. What is the main implementation-detail (?) That causes this?
