Rework checkout with new strategy options · ad9a921b
This is a major reworking of checkout strategy options. The checkout code is now sensitive to the contents of the HEAD tree and the new options allow you to update the working tree so that it will match the index content only when it previously matched the contents of the HEAD. This allows you to, for example, to distinguish between removing files that are in the HEAD but not in the index, vs just removing all untracked files. Because of various corner cases that arise, etc., this required some additional capabilities in rmdir and other utility functions. This includes the beginnings of an implementation of code to read a partial tree into the index based on a pathspec, but that is not enabled because of the possibility of creating conflicting index entries.
