I was reviewing the overall picture before tagging 1.7.4-rc0 and started
wondering if this was a good change. If repository already had branch
checked out, and if it was pointing at a commit that was different from
whatever was taken from origin, shouldn't the command _fail_ to prevent
the divergent commits from getting lost?
