Re: Built-in checkout: wrong behaviour in subdirectories

Hi,

The following test shows a problem since commit 782c2d6 (Build in checkout):

mkdir testrep
cd testrep
git init

: >file1
git add file1
git commit -m 'initial'

git branch dev

mkdir dir1
cd dir1
# this creates dir1/file1
git checkout dev

I was just recently wondering why that worked (in the context of trying to 
have builtin-clone work the same way). Guess that explains it...

Junio: it looks like something used to cause read-tree to be run with 
pwd being the working tree root in git-checkout.sh; is that something that 
should be done in setup for builtin-checkout, or should unpack_trees learn 
how to deal correctly with a non-pwd work tree root?
