[PATCH] rebase: use -f for checkout

From: Orgad Shaneh <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:56:45
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

If a file's case is changed on rename (Foo -> foo), rebase
fails on Windows because the file already exists.

The change is safe, because if working directory is not clean
rebase fails before checking out.
