2019-04-02switch: no worktree status unless real branch switch happensLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-8/+0
When we switch from one branch to another, it makes sense to show a summary of local changes since there could be conflicts, or some files left modified.... When switch is used solely for creating a new branch (and "switch" to the same commit) or detaching, we don't really need to show anything. "git checkout" does it anyway for historical reasons. But we can start with a clean slate with switch and don't have to. This essentially reverts fa655d8411 (checkout: optimize "git checkout -b <new_branch>" - 2018-08-16) and make it default for switch, but also for -B and --detach. Users of big repos are encouraged to move to switch. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-04-02checkout: split part of it to new command 'switch'Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-3/+6
"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most of users) are sick of it. See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout" and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will adjust their behavior to match the man page.
