Just like how "free" packages display which versions they're updating from and to, display the git SHA for checked out packages as they are updated. Here's a real-life example:
To be honest, I was totally unaware of how many packages I had that were either dirty or happened to be on a custom branch before I made this change (DataArrays is only updating because I had been on a custom branch until I started printing out the branch names). This also prints out the before and after SHA if there was a change.
It's a small change, but I have no idea how the Pkg code works, so I'd appreciate a slightly more-thorough-than-usual lookover. In particular, I don't know if these git commands are available for our lowest-supported Git version, or what the
@recover
macro does.
