fetch: warn about forced updates in branch listing
The --[no-]show-forced-updates option in 'git fetch' can be confusing for some users, especially if it is enabled via config setting and not by argument. Add advice to warn the user that the (forced update) messages were not listed. Additionally, warn users when the forced update check takes longer than ten seconds, and recommend that they disable the check. These messages can be disabled by the advice.fetchShowForcedUpdates config setting. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
