Unlike subversion that has a central repository, git is a distributed VCS which
means that first one has to close, that is obtain a copy of the entire 
repository.
Then one just checkout the version one wants from this copy of repository.
This comes with the possibility of keep track of local modifications inside the
local copy of the repository.

I think the message only warns about the actual repository state and gives
instructions of how to archive the possible outcomes. That is, modify, create
a new branch, commit the changes to it.
