> "warnings" (actually: errors) in the event that there are changes staged in
> the index and a refresh is performed without specifying either --index or
> --force. This is great for preventing an entire class of common mistakes,
> but is also a giant pain when resolving conflicts after a pull/rebase.

> This patch removes the pain by:
>  - Reporting unresolved conflicts *before* complaining about staged
>    changes, since it goes without saying that, when present, these are the
>    main problem.
>  - Not complaining about staged changes if there are no unstaged changes
> in
>    the working directory, since the presence of --index is immaterial in
>    this case.
