Do not reset the source directory if there is modification.

We simply do a `git merge --ff-only` instead of a `git reset`. This way:

- No change on the local repository
    => update to `remote/master`
- If you switch branch and local branch is behind `remote/master`
    => fast forward to `remote/master`
- If you switch branch and branches diverge
    => No update of the directory
- On branch master (or a branch behind `origin/master`) with compatible
  change in the working tree.
    =>  update of the directory
- On branch master (or a branch behind `origin/master`) but incompatible
  change in the working tree.
    =>  No update.

This way, sources are keep up-to-date as far as possible.
