My reason was that (perhaps not as much in this case, but I meant to speak in general) the message is confusing/not clear enough.

> Did you study Junio's patch before you responded to his message? The point of the suggestion was that he reworded the message given by git-checkout that is a porcelain command without breaking output from read-tree that is a plumbing command. In other words, you can improve output from porcelain commands without making unnecessary changes to plumbing.

I hadn't read his e-mail when I was replying, my Internet has been playing up lately (same for about half of the Netherlands due to a problem at one of our biggest ISPs). I did reply to it though: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/81100
