Re: [PATCH 1/2] sh-setup: Write a new require_clean_work_tree function

I totally agree on the idea, and the implementation is OK. On the format of the message, you can try to make it more consistent with other error messages, like:

$ git merge branch
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by merge:
        one
	two
Please move or remove them before you can merge.

That would give stg like:

echo >&2 "error: The following files have unstaged changes:" git diff-files --name-status -r --ignore-submodules -- >&2 echo >&2 "Please commit or stash them to proceed."

(same for the second case)

Also, you probably want to give all the error before you "exit 1", hence stg like:

error=f
...
if
then
	...
	error=t
fi

if
then
	...
	error=t
fi

if [ "$error" = "t" ]; then
	exit 1
fi
