[StGit PATCH 01/10] Prevent most commands from running when there are conflicts

From

<20080420215625.5837.82896.stgit@yoghurt>

When there are conflicts, we want most commands to fail, since the conflicts conceptually belong to the topmost patch. git read-tree already checks this for us when we check out a new tree, but there are operations where the top tree stays the same, e.g. stg new.

This patch inserts a conflict check when the tree to check out is the same. By default, conflicts will prevent the checkout from succeeding, but commands can choose to override this if the same patch stays on top (for some definition of "same").

This change only affects the new-infrastructure commands; the others always refuse to run when there are local changes of any kind.
