When you change the project release and we find valid layers for the new release, we show a notification saying:

"You have changed the release to: <new_release>. This has caused the following changes in your project layers:

- <no_of_layers> changed: <layer_names>"

For example:

"You have changed the release to: Yocto Project 1.7 Dizzy. This has caused the following changes in your project layers:

- 3 layers changed: openembedded-core, meta-yocto, meta-yocto-bsp"

Although the content above is pretty good, it leaves you wondering what are the actual changes that were made to the layers. That's why the design asked for the following text:

- <no_of_layers> changed to the <branch> branch: <layer_names>

Like so:

"You have changed the release to: Yocto Project 1.7 Dizzy. This has caused the following changes in your project layers:

- 3 layers changed to the dizzy branch: openembedded-core, meta-yocto, meta-yocto-bsp"

Adding the new branch name to that notification would be pretty nice.
