Re: git checkout under 1.7.6 does not properly list untracked files and aborts

So, I bisected it. The first bad commit is

9037026 (unpack-trees: fix sparse checkout's "unable to match
directories", 2010-11-27)

although the real culprit may be its predecessor

2431afb (unpack-trees: move all skip-worktree checks back to
unpack_trees(), 2010-11-27)

which does not compile:

    CC unpack-trees.o
unpack-trees.c: In function 'mark_new_skip_worktree':
unpack-trees.c:852:75: error: 'o' undeclared (first use in this function)
unpack-trees.c:852:75: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only
once for each function it appears in
make: *** [unpack-trees.o] Error 1

This may help

Duy, sorry for prodding you again.

No problem (and sorry for breaking the build). I'll also have a look
at this problem.
