When <paths> or `--patch` are given, 'git checkout' does *not*
switch branches. It updates the named paths in the working tree
from the index file or from a named <tree-ish> (most often a
commit). In this case, the `-b` and `--track` options are
meaningless and giving either of them results in an error. The
<tree-ish> argument can be used to specify a specific tree-ish
(i.e. commit, tag or tree) to update the index for the given
paths before updating the working tree.

'git checkout' with <paths> or `--patch` is used to restore modified or

with the contents from a named <tree-ish> (most often a commit-ish).
Overwrite paths in the working tree by replacing with the

This is similar to the "check out paths to the working tree
from either the index or from a tree-ish" mode described
above, but lets you use the interactive interface to show
the "diff" output and choose which hunks to use in the
result. See below for the description of `--patch` option.
