There is no reason to forbid a dirty work tree when reverting or
cherry-picking a change, as long as the index is clean.
The scripted version used to allow it:
case "$no_commit" in
t)
# We do not intend to commit immediately. We just want to
# merge the differences in.
head=$(git-write-tree) ||
die "Your index file is unmerged."
;;
*)
head=$(git-rev-parse --verify HEAD) ||
die "You do not have a valid HEAD"
files=$(git-diff-index --cached --name-only $head) || exit
if [ "$files" ]; then
die "Dirty index: cannot $me (dirty: $files)"
fi
;;
esac
but C rewrite tightened the check, probably by mistake.
