Hm, in 324c2c317 "git-rebase: report checkout failure", that was switched from a stdout/stderr redirect to -q, so that those error messages are shown. And with a quick test, rebase/checkout complains just fine: doener@atjola:g (master) $ git checkout -q bar error: Untracked working tree file 'file' would be overwritten by merge. doener@atjola:g (master) $ git rebase bar First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... error: Untracked working tree file 'file' would be overwritten by merge. could not detach HEAD doener@atjola:g (master) $ git --version git version 1.6.2.rc0 Same with next and pu.
