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. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
