checkout: inform the user when removing branch state
After a successful switch, if a merge, cherry-pick or revert is ongoing, it is canceled. This behavior has been with us from the very early beginning, soon after git-merge was created but never actually documented [1]. It may be a good idea to be transparent and tell the user if some operation is canceled. I consider this a better way of telling the user than just adding a sentence or two in git-checkout.txt, which will be mostly ignored anyway. PS. Originally I wanted to print more details like warning: cancelling an in-progress merge from <SHA-1> which may allow some level of undo if the user wants to. But that seems a lot more work. Perhaps it can be improved later if people still want that. [1] ... and I will try not to argue whether it is a sensible behavior. There is some more discussion here if people are interested: CACsJy8Axa5WsLSjiscjnxVK6jQHkfs-gH959=YtUvQkWriAk5w@mail.gmail.com Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
