Fix checkout behavior when its hands are tied · 32def5af
So, @nulltoken created a failing test case for checkout that proved to be particularly daunting. If checkout is given only a very limited strategy mask (e.g. just GIT_CHECKOUT_CREATE_MISSING) then it is possible for typechange/rename modifications to leave it unable to complete the request. That's okay, but the existing code did not have enough information not to generate an error (at least for tree/blob conflicts). This led me to a significant reorganization of the code to handle the failing case, but it has three benefits: 1. The test case is handled correctly (I think) 2. The new code should actually be much faster than the old code since I decided to make checkout aware of diff list internals. 3. The progress value accuracy is hugely increased since I added a fourth pass which calculates exactly what work needs to be done before doing anything.
