When detaching the HEAD to the base commit, the "git checkout" command
could fail if, for example, upstream contains a file that would overrwrite
a local, untracked file. Unconditionally discarding the standard error
stream was done to squelch the progress and notices back when checkout
did not have -q option, but there is no reason to keep doing it anymore.
Noticed by Robert Shearman.

# Detach HEAD and reset the tree
echo "First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it..."
-git checkout "$onto^0" >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
- die "could not detach HEAD"
-# git reset --hard "$onto^0"
+git checkout -q "$onto^0" || die "could not detach HEAD"
# If the $onto is a proper descendant of the tip of the branch, then
# we just fast forwarded.
