What does the user most likely want with this command?
$ git checkout --track origin/next
Exactly. A branch called 'next', that tracks origin's branch 'next'.
Make it so.

The patch is twofold: it moves the option consistency checks just under
the parse_options call so that it doesn't get in the way of the tree
reference vs. pathspecs desambiguation.
The other part rewrites the way to understand arguments so that when
git-checkout fails it does with an understandable message. Compared to the
previous behavior we now have:
- a better error message when doing:
git checkout <blob reference> --
now complains about the reference not pointing to a tree, instead of
things like:
error: pathspec <blob reference> did not match any file(s) known to git.
error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git.
- a better error message when doing:
git checkout <path> --
It now complains about <path> not being a reference instead of the
completely obscure:
error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git.
- an error when -- wasn't used, and the first argument is ambiguous
(i.e. can be interpreted as both ref and as path).

This fixes an issue when you use:
$ git checkout -- <path1> [<paths>...]
and that <path1> can also be understood as a reference. git-checkout
mistakenly understands this as the same as:
$ git checkout <path1> -- [<paths>...]
because parse-options was eating the '--' and the argument parser thought
he was parsing:
$ git checkout <path1> [<paths>...]
Where there indeed is an ambiguity

People seem to like "Your branch is ahead by N commit" report made by
"git checkout", but the interface into the statistics function was a bit
clunky. This splits the function into three parts:
* The core "commit counting" function that takes "struct branch" and
returns number of commits to show if we are ahead, behind or forked;
* Convenience "stat formating" function that takes "struct branch" and
formats the report into a given strbuf, using the above function;
* "checkout" specific function that takes "branch_info" (type that is
internal to checkout implementation), calls the above function and
print the formatted result.
in the hope that the former two can be more easily reusable.

When unpack_trees() returned an error while switching branches, we used to
stop right there, exiting without writing the index out or switching HEAD.
This is Ok when unpack_trees() returned an error because it detected
untracked files or locally modified paths that could be overwritten by
branch switching, because that error return is done before we start to
modify the work tree. But it is undesirable if unpack_trees() already
started to update the work tree and a failure is returned because some but
not all paths are updated in the work tree, perhaps because a directory
that some files need to go in was read-only by mistake, or a file that
will be overwritten by branch switching had a mandatory lock on it and we
failed to unlink it.
This changes the behaviour upon such an error to complete the branch
switching; the files updated in the work tree will hopefully be much more
consistent with the index and HEAD derived from the switched-to branch.
We still issue error messages, and exit the command with non-zero status,
so scripted callers need to notice it.

The plumbing output is sacred as it is an API. We _could_ change it if it
is broken in such a way that it cannot convey necessary information fully,
but we just do not _reword_ for the sake of rewording. If somebody does
not like it, s/he is complaining too late. S/he should have been here in
early May 2005 and make the language used by the API closer to what humans
read. S/he wasn't here. Too bad, and it is too late.
And people who complain should look at a bigger picture. Look at what was
suggested by one of them and think for five seconds:
$ git checkout mytopic
-fatal: Entry 'frotz' not uptodate. Cannot merge.
+fatal: Entry 'frotz' has local changes. Cannot merge.
If you do not see something wrong with this output, your brain has already
been rotten with use of git for too long a time. Nobody asked us to
"merge" but why are we talking about "Cannot merge"?
This patch introduces a mechanism to allow Porcelains to specify messages
that are different from the ones that is given by the underlying plumbing
implementation of read-tree, so that we can reword the message Porcelains give
without disrupting the output from the plumbing.
$ git-checkout pu
error: You have local changes to 'Makefile'; cannot switch branches.
There are other places that ask unpack_trees() to n-way merge, detect
issues and let it issue error message on its own, but I did this as a
demonstration and replaced only one message.
Yes I know about C99 structure initializers. I'd love to use them but we

When calling pretty_print_commit, there is an implicit
assumption that passing in a non-NULL "subject" variable
for oneline or email formats means that the output is part

We will always unpack into our own internal index, but we will take the
source from wherever specified, and we will optionally write the result
to a specified index (optionally, because not everybody even _wants_ any
result: the index diffing really wants to just walk the tree and index
in parallel).
This ends up removing a fair number more lines than it adds, for the
simple reason that we can now skip all the crud that tried to be
oh-so-careful about maintaining our position in the index as we were
traversing and modifying it. Since we don't actually modify the source
index any more, we can just update the 'o->pos' pointer without worrying
about whether an index entry got removed or replaced or added to.

This is just a very mechanical conversion, and makes everybody set it to
'&the_index' before calling, but at least it makes it more explicit
where we work with the index.
The next stage would be to split that index usage up into a 'source' and
a 'destination' index, so that we can unpack into a different index than
we started out from.

We need to rewrite the index file when we check out files, even if we
haven't modified the blob info by reading from another tree, so that
we get the stat cache to include the fact that we just modified the
file so it doesn't need to be refreshed.
While we're at it, move everything that needs to be done to check out
some paths from a tree (or the current index) into checkout_paths().

"git branch" and "git checkout -b" now honor --track option even when
the upstream branch is local. Previously --track was silently ignored
when forking from a local branch. Also the command did not error out
when --track was explicitly asked for but the forked point specified
was not an existing branch (i.e. when there is no way to set up the
tracking configuration), but now it correctly does.
The configuration setting branch.autosetupmerge can now be set to
"always", which is equivalent to using --track from the command line.
Setting branch.autosetupmerge to "true" will retain the former behavior
of only setting up branch.*.merge for remote upstream branches.

When you are switching to a branch that is marked to merge from
somewhere else, e.g. when you have:
[branch "next"]
remote = upstream
merge = refs/heads/next
[remote "upstream"]
url = ...
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/linus/*
and you say "git checkout next", the branch you checked out
may be behind, and you may want to update from the upstream
before continuing to work.
This patch makes the command to check the upstream (in this
example, "refs/remotes/linus/next") and our branch "next", and:
(1) if they match, nothing happens;
(2) if you are ahead (i.e. the upstream is a strict ancestor
of you), one line message tells you so;
(3) otherwise, you are either behind or you and the upstream
have forked. One line message will tell you which and
then you will see a "log --pretty=oneline --left-right".
We could enhance this with an option that tells the command to
check if there is no local change, and automatically fast
forward when you are truly behind. But I ripped out that change
because I was unsure what the right way should be to allow users
to control it (issues include that checkout should not become
automatically interactive).

The only differences in behavior should be:
- git checkout -m with non-trivial merging won't print out
merge-recursive messages (see the change in t7201-co.sh)
- git checkout -- paths... will give a sensible error message if
HEAD is invalid as a commit.
- some intermediate states which were written to disk in the shell
version (in particular, index states) are only kept in memory in
this version, and therefore these can no longer be revealed by
later write operations becoming impossible.
- when we change branches, we discard MERGE_MSG, SQUASH_MSG, and
rr-cache/MERGE_RR, like reset always has.
I'm not 100% sure I got the merge recursive setup exactly right; the
base for a non-trivial merge in the shell code doesn't seem
theoretically justified to me, but I tried to match it anyway, and the
tests all pass this way.
Other than these items, the results should be identical to the shell
version, so far as I can tell.
