unpack-trees: suggesting 'git checkout -m <branch>' with its repercussions

This comment is an extention to the already existing stash comment.

After the valuable insights given to me by git maintaniers.
I removed the new function I introduced.
Added updated comment over the already existing function
"setup_unpack_trees_porcelain" with "git checkout -m <branch>"
and its repercussions
I have also mentioned the repercussions of using "-m".
