appflow update & appflow checkin commands seem fragile

[neverything]

In the past two weeks I had the following scenario twice:

1. appflow update works and does the updates, which is fine
2. appflow decrypt works, so I change a few values
3. appflow checkin <tenant> <env> <commit-message> seems to work from the messages in terminal, but nothing gets checked in

So naturally I go to cd ~/.appflow/tenant/<tenant-name>/ and see that it has unpushed commits and another user checked in something and I have a ton of merge conflicts after git pull.

Manually fixing it and redoing my work using:

git fetch origin master
git reset --hard origin/master

After this it works again with the commands.

Suggestion

Add better checks to appflow update and better messages if it couldn't push the changes or has merge conflicts for appflow checkin.

hi @neverything, that's a known issue, we need to add some pre-checks before checkin, thanks for pointing that out.
