Subject: Alter git-checkout reflog message to include "from" branch
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.3-rc1~82

Alter git-checkout reflog message to include "from" branch

As suggested by Junio, adding the current branch name to the
reflog message for git-checkout would be helpful.  For example:

   "checkout: moving from next to master"
