Reproduction steps

1- On Entering wrong access token it shows, "too many redirects or authentication replays" 2- Checking out to another branch when file similar name is not committed. We see the error, "1 conflict prevents checkout", this is not clear because in this case we don't see any conflicts occurring.

In this case, you need a conflict listener which will be called for each conflict. We wouldn't want to enumerate the conflicts in an error message since there could be arbitrarily many.
