As we are now (or rather soon) defaulting to git_auto_update, this affects developer instances as well, which usually might not want to have that feature enabled.
The error message should tell the user which feature in openqa.ini to disable.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: Clear suggestion to the user what they could/should do

Suggestion¶

• Find the code location that triggers to show the output of git diff-index and provide a suggestion to the user, e.g. "Consider to commit your local changes or disable git auto-update, see $link_to_doc for details"
• No need to prevent the existing log messages, just add one helpful suggestion
