From afa8c07a26b9783c41b1066b75a35de1610a3cfa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:12:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] checkout: print a message when switching unborn branches When we switch to a new branch using checkout, we usually output a message indicating what happened. However, when we switch from an unborn branch to a new branch, we do not print anything, which may leave the user wondering what happened. The reason is that the unborn branch is a special case (see abe1998), and does not follow the usual switch_branches code path. Let's add a similar informational message to the special case to match the usual code path.
