Junio C Hamano 1be0659efc checkout: merge local modifications while switching branches. ...

* Instead of going interactive, introduce a command line switch
   '-m' to allow merging changes when normal two-way merge by
   read-tree prevents branch switching.

 * Leave the unmerged stages intact if automerge fails, but
   reset index entries of cleanly merged paths to that of the
   new branch, so that "git diff" (not "git diff HEAD") would
   show the local modifications.

 * Swap the order of trees in read-tree three-way merge used in
   the fallback, so that `git diff` to show the conflicts become
   more natural.

 * Describe the new option and give more examples in the documentation.
