The 'git switch' command was created to separate half of the
behavior of 'git checkout'. It specifically has the mode to
do nothing with the index and working directory if the user
only specifies to create a new branch and change HEAD to that
branch. This is also the behavior most users expect from
'git checkout -b', but for historical reasons it also performs
an index update by scanning the working directory. This can be
slow for even moderately-sized repos.
A performance fix for 'git checkout -b' was introduced by
fa655d8411 (checkout: optimize "git checkout -b <new_branch>"
2018-08-16). That change includes details about the config
setting checkout.optimizeNewBranch when the sparse-checkout
feature is required. The way this change detected if this
behavior change is safe was through the skip_merge_working_tree()
method. This method was complex and needed to be updated
as new options were introduced.
This behavior was essentially reverted by 65f099b ("switch:
no worktree status unless real branch switch happens"
2019-03-29). Instead, two members of the checkout_opts struct
were used to distinguish between 'git checkout' and 'git switch':
* switch_branch_doing_nothing_is_ok
* only_merge_on_switching_branches
These settings have opposite values depending on if we start
in cmd_checkout or cmd_switch.
The message for 64f099b includes "Users of big repos are
encouraged to move to switch." Making this change while
'git switch' is still experimental is too aggressive.
Create a happy medium between these two options by making
'git checkout -b <branch>' behave just like 'git switch',
but only if we read exactly those arguments. This must
be done in cmd_checkout to avoid the arguments being
consumed by the option parsing logic.
This differs from the previous change by fa644d8 in that
the config option checkout.optimizeNewBranch remains
deleted. This means that 'git checkout -b' will ignore
the index merge even if we have a sparse-checkout file.
While this is a behavior change for 'git checkout -b',
it matches the behavior of 'git switch -c'.

write_tree_from_memory() appeared to be a merge-recursive special that
basically duplicated write_index_as_tree(). The two have a different

would always unconditionally read the index off of disk instead of
working on the current in-memory index. So:
* split out common code into write_index_as_tree_internal()
* rename write_tree_from_memory() to write_inmemory_index_as_tree(),
make it call write_index_as_tree_internal(), and move it to

When running 'git checkout -m' and using diff3 style conflict markers,
we want all the conflict hunks (left-side, "common" or "merge base", and
right-side) to have label markers letting the user know where each came
from. The "common" hunk label (o.ancestor) came from
old_branch_info->name, but that is NULL when HEAD is detached, which
resulted in a blank label. Check for that case and provide an
abbreviated commit hash instead.
(Incidentally, this was the only case in the git codebase where
merge_trees() was called with opt->ancestor being NULL. A subsequent
commit will prevent similar problems by enforcing that merge_trees()
always be called with opt->ancestor != NULL.)

It is possible to delete a committed file from the index and then add it
as intent-to-add. After `git checkout HEAD <pathspec>`, the file should
be identical in the index and HEAD. The command already works correctly
if the file has contents in HEAD. This patch provides the desired
behavior even when the file is empty in HEAD.
`git checkout HEAD <pathspec>` calls tree.c:read_tree_1(), with fn
pointing to checkout.c:update_some(). update_some() creates a new cache
entry but discards it when its mode and oid match those of the old
entry. A cache entry for an ita file and a cache entry for an empty file
have the same oid. Therefore, an empty deleted ita file previously
passed both of these checks, and the new entry was discarded, so the
file remained unchanged in the index. After this fix, if the file is
marked as ita in the cache, then we avoid discarding the new entry and
add the new entry to the cache instead.
This change should not affect newly added ita files. For those, inside
tree.c:read_tree_1(), tree_entry_interesting() returns
entry_not_interesting, so fn is never called.

In c45f0f525d (switch: reject if some operation is in progress,
2019-03-29), a check is added to prevent switching when some operation
is in progress. The reason is it's often not safe to do so.
This is true for merge, am, rebase, cherry-pick and revert, but not so
much for bisect because bisecting is basically jumping/switching between
a bunch of commits to pin point the first bad one. git-bisect suggests
the next commit to test, but it's not wrong for the user to test a
different commit because git-bisect cannot have the knowledge to know
better.
For this reason, allow to switch when bisecting (*). I considered if we
should still prevent switching by default and allow it with
--ignore-in-progress. But I don't think the prevention really adds
anything much.
If the user switches away by mistake, since we print the previous HEAD
value, even if they don't know about the "-" shortcut, switching back is
still possible.
The warning will be printed on every switch while bisect is still
ongoing, not the first time you switch away from bisect's suggested
commit, so it could become a bit annoying.
(*) of course when it's safe to do so, i.e. no loss of local changes and
stuff.

Use a more specific option name to express its purpose. --force may come
back as an alias of --ignore-unmerged and possibly more. But since this
is a destructive operation, I don't see why we need to "force" anything
more. We already don't hold back.
When 'checkout --force' or 'restore --ignore-unmerged' is used, we may
also print warnings about unmerged entries being ignore. Since this is
not exactly warning (people tell us to do so), more informational, let
it be suppressed if --quiet is given. This is a behavior change for
git-checkout.
PS. The diff looks a bit iffy since --force is moved to
add_common_switch_branch_options() (i.e. for switching). But
git-checkout is also doing switching and inherits this --force.

'git checkout <tree-ish> <pathspec>' updates both index and
worktree. But updating the index when you want to restore worktree
files is non-intuitive. The index contains the data ready for the next
commit, and there's no indication that the user will want to commit
the restored versions.
'git restore' therefore by default only touches worktree. The user has
the option to update either the index with
git restore --staged --source=<tree> <path> (1)
or update both with
git restore --staged --worktree --source=<tree> <path> (2)
PS. Orignally I wanted to make worktree update default and form (1)
would add index update while also updating the worktree, and the user
would need to do "--staged --no-worktree" to update index only. But it
looks really confusing that "--staged" option alone updates both. So
now form (2) is used for both, which reads much more obvious.
PPS. Yes form (1) overlaps with "git reset <rev> <path>". I don't know
if we can ever turn "git reset" back to "_always_ reset HEAD and
optionally do something else".

"git restore" without arguments does not make much sense when

Neither is intuitive. Make the user always give pathspec, force the

because it really is a separate mode. It will be treated as running

This is another departure from 'git checkout' syntax, which uses -- to
separate ref and pathspec. The observation is restore (or "git
checkout -- <pathspec>") is most often used to restore some files from
the index. If this is correct, we can simplify it by taking away the
ref, so that we can write
git restore some-file
without worrying about some-file being a ref and whether we need to do
git restore -- some-file
for safety. If the source of the restore comes from a tree, it will be
in the form of an option with value, e.g.
git restore --source=this-tree some-file
This is of course longer to type than using "--". But hopefully it
will not be used as often, and it is clearly easier to understand.
dwim_new_local_branch is no longer set (or unset) in cmd_restore_files()
because it's irrelevant because we don't really care about dwim-ing.
With accept_ref being unset, dwim can't happen.

Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a
new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking
out paths path.
Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the
command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to
match the man page.
A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>':
- 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more
when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both
worktree and index).
- 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command
overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'.
- both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time
(from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This
overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>'
- default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and
HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as
with --source (*).
- when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be
specified since the default source for these two individual targets
are different (**)
- --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the
source, restoring means deleting the entry
(*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think
--from is a better name. The short option -f however is already
taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to
write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD.
(**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from
the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it
through when they type the commands.

"git checkout -m <other>" was about carrying the differences
between HEAD and the working-tree files forward while checking out
another branch, and ignored the differences between HEAD and the
index. The command has been taught to abort when the index and the
HEAD are different.

Switching and creating branches always involves knowing the
<start-point> to begin the new branch from. Sometimes, people want to
create a new branch that does not have any commits yet; --orphan is a
flag to allow that.
--orphan overrides the default of HEAD for <start-point> instead causing
us to start from an empty history with all tracked files removed from
the index and working tree. The use of --orphan is incompatible with
specifying a <start-point>.
A note on the implementation. An alternative is just create a dummy
commit in-core with empty tree and switch to it. But there's a chance
the commit's SHA-1 may end up somewhere permanent like reflog. It's best
to make sure "commit" pointer is NULL to avoid it.

Unless you know what you're doing, switching to another branch to do
something then switching back could be confusing. Worse, you may even
forget that you're in the middle of something. By the time you realize,
you may have done a ton of work and it gets harder to go back.
A new option --ignore-in-progress was considered but dropped because it
was not exactly clear what should happen. Sometimes you can switch away
and get back safely and resume the operation. Sometimes not. And the
git-checkout behavior is automatically clear merge/revert/cherry-pick,
which makes it a bit even more confusing [1].
We may revisit and add this option in the future. But for now play it
safe and not allow it (you can't even skip this check with --force). The
user is suggested to cancel the operation by themselves (and hopefully
they do consider the consequences, not blindly type the command), or to
create a separate worktree instead of switching. The third option is
the good old "git checkout", but it's not mentioned.

When we switch from one branch to another, it makes sense to show a
summary of local changes since there could be conflicts, or some files
left modified.... When switch is used solely for creating a new

need to show anything.

Contrary to detach mode that is easy to get into and confusing to get

do once you get git references. But detached HEAD is a scary concept
to new users because we show a lot of warnings and stuff, and it could
be hard to get out of (until you know better).

After a successful switch, if a merge, cherry-pick or revert is ongoing,
it is canceled. This behavior has been with us from the very early
beginning, soon after git-merge was created but never actually
documented [1]. It may be a good idea to be transparent and tell the
user if some operation is canceled.
I consider this a better way of telling the user than just adding a
sentence or two in git-checkout.txt, which will be mostly ignored
anyway.
PS. Originally I wanted to print more details like
warning: cancelling an in-progress merge from <SHA-1>
which may allow some level of undo if the user wants to. But that seems
a lot more work. Perhaps it can be improved later if people still want
that.
[1] ... and I will try not to argue whether it is a sensible behavior.

git diff-files --name-only | git update-index --remove --stdin &&
work=`git write-tree` &&
git read-tree $v --reset -u $new || exit

# Do not register the cleanly merged paths in the index yet.
# this is not a real merge before committing, but just carrying
# the working tree changes along.

staged changes before this whole command sequence is executed, they
are lost because they are unlikely part of the 'new' tree to be
restored.
There is no easy way to fix this. Elijah may have something up his
sleeves [1], but until then, check if there are staged changes and
refuse to run and lose them. The user would need to do "git reset" to
continue in this case.
A note about the test update. 'checkout -m' in that test will fail
because a deletion is staged. This 'checkout -m' was previously needed
to verify quietness behavior of unpack-trees. But a different check
has been put in place in the last patch. We can safely drop
'checkout -m' now.

The gently flag was added in 17e4642667 (Add flag to make unpack_trees()
not print errors. - 2008-02-07) to suppress error messages. The name
"gently" does not quite express that. Granted, being quiet is gentle but
it could mean not performing some other actions. Rename the flag to
"quiet" to be more on point.

If you have staged changes in path A and perform 'checkout
--merge' (which could result in conflicts in a totally unrelated path
B), changes in A will be gone. Which is unexpected. We are supposed
to keep all changes, or kick and scream otherwise.
This is the result of how --merge is implemented, from the very first
day in 1be0659efc (checkout: merge local modifications while switching
branches., 2006-01-12):
1. a merge is done, unmerged entries are collected
2. a hard switch to a new branch is done, then unmerged entries added
back
There is no trivial fix for this. Going with 3-way merge one file at a
time loses rename detection. Going with 3-way merge by trees requires
teaching the algorithm to pick up staged changes. And even if we detect
staged changes with --merge and abort for safety, an option to continue
--merge is very weird. Such an option would keep worktree changes, but
drop staged changes.
Because the problem has been with us since the introduction of --merge
and everybody has been pretty happy (except Phillip, who found this
problem), I'll just take a note here to acknowledge it and wait for
merge wizards to come in and work their magic. There may be a way
forward [1].

This hasn't been used since 17ddc66e70 (convert report_path_error to
take struct pathspec, 2013-07-14), as the names in the struct will have
already been prefixed when they were parsed.

"git checkout --no-overlay" can be used to trigger a new mode of
checking out paths out of the tree-ish, that allows paths that
match the pathspec that are in the current index and working tree
and are not in the tree-ish.
