git-gui: Don't allow merges in the middle of other things.

If the user is in the middle of a commit they have files which are
modified.  These may conflict with any merge that they may want
to perform, which would cause problems if the user wants to abort
a bad merge as we wouldn't have a checkpoint to roll back onto.
