More helpful messages that I can think of are probably too verbose. e.g.: * "error: 'foo' differs in target branch but has uncommitted changes." * "error: 'foo' has uncommitted changes. Commit, use -f to lose changes, or -m to merge changes in target branch." j. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
