Hunh. I thought we were going to disallow switching with local mods. If
somebody changes a file, then it doesn't necessarily apply to that same file
on a different branch.

At a minimum, if local mods are present on a file which is not present in
the new location, then the switch should bail rather than tossing the
change.
