Fixes #1156
Note that the overwriting part of this issue is down to using
Ggit.CheckoutStategy.FORCEwhen checking out the other branch.Ggit.CheckoutStrategy.SAFEwas tried but resulted in unwanted staged files representing the reverse of the changes made to the other branch (but these are not visible in Code). There are many otherGgit.CheckoutStrategyflags available but it is not clear which if any of these would be better.The solution adopted here is to advise the user to back out and resolve the uncommitted changes before switching branch but to offer to overwrite the changes anyway.
