bench switch-to-master fails

[jevonearth]

When attempting bench update on a V4 erpnext install, I get the following useful notice:

erpnext@erp-sandbox:~/frappe-bench$ bench update

This update will cause a major version change in Frappe/ERPNext from 4 to 6.
This would take significant time to migrate and might break custom apps. Please run `bench update --upgrade` to confirm.

You can stay on the latest stable release by running `bench switch-to-master` or pin your bench to 4 by running `bench swtich-to-v4`
erpnext@erp-sandbox:~/frappe-bench$

When i try run bench switch-to-master, I get the following errors:

erpnext@erp-sandbox:~/frappe-bench$ bench switch-to-master

You've to pass --upgrade to switch to a branch with a different major version. In your case, going from 4 to 6.
