With --temp (or --stage=all, which implies --temp), checkout-index
writes a list to stdout associating temporary file names to the entries'
names. But if it fails to write an entry, and the failure happens before
even assigning a temporary filename to that entry, we get an odd output
line. This can be seen when trying to check out a symlink whose blob is
missing:
$ missing_blob=$(git hash-object --stdin </dev/null)
$ git update-index --add --cacheinfo 120000,$missing_blob,foo
$ git checkout-index --temp foo
error: unable to read sha1 file of foo (e69de29bb2)
foo
The 'TAB foo' line is not much useful and it might break scripts that
expect the 'tempname TAB foo' output. So let's omit such entries from
the stdout list (but leaving the error message on stderr).
We could also consider omitting _all_ failed entries from the output
list, but that's probably not a good idea as the associated tempfiles
may have been created even when checkout failed, so scripts may want to
use the output list for cleanup.

If we encounter an error while checking out an explicit path, we print a
message to stderr but do not actually exit with a non-zero code. While
this is a plumbing command and the behavior goes all the way back to
33db5f4d90 (Add a "checkout-cache" command which does what the name
suggests., 2005-04-09), this is almost certainly an oversight:
- we _do_ return an exit code from checkout_file(); the caller just
never reads it
- errors while checking out all paths (with "-a") do result in a
non-zero exit code.
- it would be quite unusual not to use the exit code for an error,
as otherwise the caller has no idea the command failed except by
scraping stderr
To keep our tests simple and portable, we can use the most obvious
error: asking to checkout a path which is not in the index at all.

If checkout-index is given --stage=all for a specific path, it will try
to write stages 1-3 (if present) for that path to temporary files.
However, if the file is present only at stage 0, it writes nothing but
gives a confusing message:
$ git checkout-index --stage=all -- Makefile
git checkout-index: Makefile does not exist at stage 4
This is nonsense. There is no stage 4 (it's just an internal enum value
we use for "all"), and the documentation clearly states:
Paths which only have a stage 0 entry will always be omitted from the
output.
Here it's talking about the list of tempfiles written to stdout, but it
seems clear that this case was not meant to be an error. We even have a
test which covers it, but it only checks that the command reports an
exit code of 0, not its stderr. And it reports 0 only because of another
bug which fails to propagate errors (which will be fixed in a subsequent
patch).
So let's make the test more thorough. We'll also cover the case that we
found _no_ entry, not even a stage zero, which should still be an error.
However, because of the other bug, we'll have to mark this as expecting
failure for the moment.

In the codebase, there are many options which use OPTION_CALLBACK in a
plain ol' struct definition. However, we have the OPT_CALLBACK and
OPT_CALLBACK_F macros which are meant to abstract these plain struct
definitions away. These macros are useful as they semantically signal to
developers that these are just normal callback option with nothing fancy
happening.
Replace plain struct definitions of OPTION_CALLBACK with OPT_CALLBACK or
OPT_CALLBACK_F where applicable. The heavy lifting was done using the
following (disgusting) shell script:
#!/bin/sh
do_replacement () {
tr '\n' '\r' |
sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\s*0,\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6)/g' |

tr '\r' '\n'
}
for f in $(git ls-files \*.c)
do
do_replacement <"$f" >"$f.tmp"
mv "$f.tmp" "$f"
done
The result was manually inspected and then reformatted to match the
style of the surrounding code. Finally, using
`git grep OPTION_CALLBACK \*.c`, leftover results which were not handled
by the script were manually transformed.

"git checkout [<tree-ish>] path..." learned to report the number of
paths that have been checked out of the index or the tree-ish,
which gives it the same degree of noisy-ness as the case in which
the command checks out a branch.
* nd/checkout-noisy:
t0027: squelch checkout path run outside test_expect_* block
checkout: print something when checking out paths
One of the problems with "git checkout" is that it does so many
different things and could confuse people specially when we fail to
handle ambiguation correctly.
One way to help with that is tell the user what sort of operation is
actually carried out. When switching branches, we always print
something unless --quiet, either
- "HEAD is now at ..."
- "Reset branch ..."
- "Already on ..."
- "Switched to and reset ..."
- "Switched to a new branch ..."
- "Switched to branch ..."
Checking out paths however is silent. Print something so that if we
got the user intention wrong, they won't waste too much time to find
that out. For the remaining cases of checkout we now print either
- "Checked out ... paths out of the index"
- "Checked out ... paths out of <abbrev hash>"
Since the purpose of printing this is to help disambiguate. Only do it
when "--" is missing.

When we define a parse-options callback, the flags we put in the option
struct must match what the callback expects. For example, a callback
which does not handle the "unset" parameter should only be used with
PARSE_OPT_NONEG. But since the callback and the option struct are not
defined next to each other, it's easy to get this wrong (as earlier
patches in this series show).
Fortunately, the compiler can help us here: compiling with
-Wunused-parameters can show us which callbacks ignore their "unset"
parameters (and likewise, ones that ignore "arg" expect to be triggered
with PARSE_OPT_NOARG).
But after we've inspected a callback and determined that all of its
callers use the right flags, what do we do next? We'd like to silence
the compiler warning, but do so in a way that will catch any wrong calls
in the future.
We can do that by actually checking those variables and asserting that
they match our expectations. Because this is such a common pattern,
we'll introduce some helper macros. The resulting messages aren't
as descriptive as we could make them, but the file/line information from
BUG() is enough to identify the problem (and anyway, the point is that
these should never be seen).
Each of the annotated callbacks in this patch triggers
-Wunused-parameters, and was manually inspected to make sure all callers
use the correct options (so none of these BUGs should be triggerable).

`newfd` starts out negative. If we then take the lock, `newfd` will

a boolean to keep track of whether we took the lock or not. (We always
use `newfd` and `lock_file` together, so they really are mirroring each

Drop `newfd` and check with `is_lock_file_locked()` instead. While at

LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update().

Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0:

just before the program exits and nobody should care.
- builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(),
builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(),
sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic
updates and they are OK.
- builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront
but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the
entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to
issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock. We do diagnose
and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK.
- wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY. It asks
silence, does not check the returned value. Compare with
callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it
is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.

We do not really expect people to use "--no-stage", but if
they do, git currently segfaults. We could instead have it
undo the effects of a previous "--stage", but this gets
tricky around the "to_tempfile" flag. We cannot simply reset
it to 0, because we don't know if it was set by a previous
"--stage=all" or an explicit "--temp" option.
We could solve this by setting a flag and resolving
to_tempfile later, but it's not worth the effort. Nobody
actually wants to use "--no-stage"; we are just trying to
fix a potential segfault here.
While we're in the area, let's improve the user-facing

The parsing of "--index" is done in a callback, but it does
not handle an "unset" option. We don't necessarily expect
anyone to use this, but the current behavior is to treat it
exactly like "--index", which would probably be surprising.
Instead, let's just turn it into an OPT_BOOL, and handle it
after we're done parsing. This makes "--no-index" just work
(it cancels a previous "--index").
As a bonus, this makes the logic easier to follow. The old
code opened the index during the option parsing, leaving the
reader to wonder if there was some timing issue (there
isn't; none of the other options care that we've opened it).
And then if we found that "--prefix" had been given, we had
to rollback the index. Now we can simply avoid opening it in
the first place.
Note that it might make more sense for checkout-index to
complain when "--index --prefix=foo" is given (rather than
silently ignoring "--index"), but since it has been that way
since 415e96c ([PATCH] Implement git-checkout-cache -u to

"git checkout-index --temp=$target $path" did not work correctly
for paths outside the current subdirectory in the project.
* es/checkout-index-temp:
checkout-index: fix --temp relative path mangling
t2004: demonstrate broken relative path printing
t2004: standardize file naming in symlink test
t2004: drop unnecessary write-tree/read-tree
t2004: modernize style
checkout-index --temp only properly prints relative paths which are
descendants of the current directory. Paths in ancestor or sibling
directories (or their children) are often printed in mangled form. For
example:
mkdir a bbb &&
>file &&
>bbb/file &&
git update-index --add file bbb/file &&
cd a &&
git checkout-index --temp ../file ../bbb/file
prints:
.merge_file_ooblek le
.merge_file_igloo0 b/file
rather than the correct:
.merge_file_ooblek ../file
.merge_file_igloo0 ../bbb/file
Internally, given the above example, checkout-index prefixes each input
argument with the name of the current directory ("a/", in this case),
and then assumes that it can simply skip forward by strlen("a/") bytes
to recover the original name. This works for files in the current
directory or its descendants, but fails for files in ancestors or
siblings (or their children) due to path normalization.
For instance, given "../file", "a/" is prepended, giving "a/../file".
Path normalization folds out "a/../", resulting in "file". Attempting
to recover the original name by skipping strlen("a/") bytes gives the
incorrect "le" rather than the desired "../file".
Fix this by taking advantage of write_name_quoted_relative() to recover
the original name properly, rather than assuming that it can be
recovered by skipping strlen(prefix) bytes.
As a bonus, this also fixes a bug in which checkout-index --temp
accessed and printed memory beyond the end-of-string. For instance,
within a subdirectory named "subdirectory", and given argument
"../file", prefixing would give "subdirectory/../file", which would
become "file" after normalization. checkout-index would then attempt to
recover the original name by skipping strlen("subdirectory/") bytes of
"file", which placed it well beyond end-of-string. Despite this error,
it often appeared to give the correct result, but only due to an
accident of implementation which left an apparently correct copy of the
path in memory following the normalized value. In particular, handed
"subdirectory/../file", in-place processing by normalize_path_copy_len()
resulted in "file\0rectory/../file". When checkout-index skipped
strlen("subdirectory/") bytes, it ended up back at "../file" and thus
appeared to give the correct answer, despite being past end-of-string.

At first glance, it might appear that the caller of checkout_entry()
can specify to which path the contents are written out by the last
parameter, and it is tempting to add "const" in front of its type.
In reality, however, topath[] is to point at a buffer to store the
temporary path generated by the callchain originating from this
function, and the temporary path is always short, much shorter than
the buffer prepared by its only caller in builtin/checkout-index.c.

The --no-create was parsed with OPT_BOOLEAN, which has a counting up
logic implemented. Since b04ba2bb (parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEAN,
2011-09-27) the OPT_BOOLEAN is deprecated and is only a define:
/* Deprecated synonym */
#define OPTION_BOOLEAN OPTION_COUNTUP
However the variable not_new, which can be counted up by giving
--no-create multiple times, is used to set a bit in the struct checkout
bitfield (defined in cache.h:969, declared at builtin/checkout-index.c:19):
state.not_new = not_new;
When assigning a value other than 0 or 1 to a bit, all leading digits but
the last are ignored and only the last bit is used for setting the bit
variable.
Hence the following:
# in git.git:
$ git status
# working directory clean
rm COPYING
$ git status
# deleted: COPYING
$ git checkout-index -a -n
$ git status
# deleted: COPYING
# which is expected as we're telling git to not restore or create
# files, however:
$ git checkout-index -a -n -n
$ git status
# working directory clean, COPYING is restored again!
# That's the bug, we're fixing here.

won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
