The original reason for adding this behaviour was that opening 25 files and 
then switching branches without changing any of them gives you lots of useless 
warnings. This problem is neatly solved by the current behaviour.

I'm not sure if you have fully understood what the feature does. In no case 
will changes you made be lost. Kate checks if *the exact contents of the file 
before reload* are stored in version control and only reloads in that case.

So, if you e.g. make changes without committing them and then run "git reset 
--hard", kate *will* ask you before reloading the file. If you make no changes 
and switch branches, it will not. If you make changes, commit them and then 
switch branches, it will also not ask.
