Subject: checkout $tree $path: do not clobber local changes in $path not in $tree
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.7.1~10^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0a1283bc3955a97557019d077b96669c5c93c551;p=git.git

checkout $tree $path: do not clobber local changes in $path not in $tree

Checking paths out of a tree is (currently) defined to do:

 - Grab the paths from the named tree that match the given pathspec,
   and add them to the index;

 - Check out the contents from the index for paths that match the
   pathspec to the working tree; and while at it

 - If the given pathspec did not match anything, suspect a typo from the
   command line and error out without updating the index nor the working
   tree.

Suppose that the branch you are working on has dir/myfile, and the "other"
branch has dir/other but not dir/myfile. Further imagine that you have
either modified or removed dir/myfile in your working tree, but you have
not run "git add dir/myfile" or "git rm dir/myfile" to tell Git about your
local change. Running

 $ git checkout other dir

would add dir/other to the index with the contents taken out of the
"other" branch, and check out the paths from the index that match the
pathspec "dir", namely, "dir/other" and "dir/myfile", overwriting your
local changes to "dir/myfile", even though "other" branch does not even
know about that file.

Fix it by updating the working tree only with the index entries that
was read from the "other" tree.
