[PATCH] Return error when not checking out an entry due to dirtiness.

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:07
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Without -f flag, 'git-checkout-index foo.c' issued an error message
when foo.c already existed in the working tree and did not match index.
However it did not return an error from the underlying checkout_entry()
function and resulted in a successful exit(0).

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <redacted>

 * I've made sure that the existing scripts do not use
   checkout-index without -f in a way that could be affected by
   this change.  However, third-party scripts may be affected by
   this.  Cogito and StGIT should be OK -- they either run
   checkout with -f, do not check the error return when it does
   not use -f, or runs checkout without -f in an empty working
   tree.
