Re: How to git checkout a orgin(unstage) version file in another directoy?

I'm not sure what you mean by "origin" version, but if you mean the
version from the current revision (before making and staging changes),
you would check out from HEAD instead of from the index:

git --work-tree=. --git-dir="/media/linux/t/kernel/.git" checkout HEAD
-- README

Wouldn't that still affect the index in /media/linux/t/kernel/.git/index,
making /media/linux/t/kernel/README and the index entry out-of-sync?

Yes. I guess you overlooked the two posts where Chunlin and I realised
that I took his request for "checkout" too giterally.
