Actually I think it is a good idea to remind that you were in a funny state. For that matter, dying without removing the trace of that funny state might be even preferrable if you need to do postmortem to figure out why you got into such a funny state to begin with, but not everybody uses git to debug git. I think Dscho's suggestion is a reasonable middle ground. -- 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
