Hi,

As "checkout" is about switching branches, and as Git is very keen on 
avoiding loss of uncommitted changes, I think this comment is utterly 
unnecessary.  Indeed, it is rather annoying: when I read a document the 
other day, that I _had_ to read, and which was full of obvious statements, 
sure enough, I missed the single important half-sentence.

IOW do not clutter the man page with distracting stuff, please, please, 
please.

Ciao,
