screenshot after checkout conflict

I changed some files, then issued "git checkout master" from the UI. The result was a red X warning 

Checkout conflict with files: src/traceur.js test/unit/codegeneration/source_map_test.html

But now what state am I in? Did the branch change apply? I guess not, since the UI does not highlight master. Are any of my files changed? Maybe? Usually when git says "conflict" it means it wrote >>>> into my files. But I don't know.


Using the command line I verified that I was on master and no >>>> was added. 

The warning message should be more like:

Checkout aborted with no changes. Change in file <...> conflicts with file on <target-branch>

This should be done in 5.0.

Bogdan, do we have anything more to do here?
