+1. Most concise is probably:

 * "error: 'foo' has uncommitted changes."

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."
