During a conflicted merge when you have unmerged stages for a
path F in the index, if you said:
$ git checkout F
we rewrote F as many times as we have stages for it, and the
last one (typically "theirs") was left in the work tree, without
resolving the conflict.
This fixes it by noticing that a specified pathspec pattern
matches an unmerged path, and by erroring out.

Many scripts compare actual and expected output using
"diff -u". This is nicer than "cmp" because the output shows
how the two differ. However, not all versions of diff
understand -u, leading to unnecessary test failure.
This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and
switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function
uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its
arguments; the default is "diff -u".
On systems with a less-capable diff, you can do:
GIT_TEST_CMP=cmp make test

When switching branches from a subdirectory, checkout rewritten
in C extracted the toplevel of the tree in there.
This should fix it.

"git branch" and "git checkout -b" now honor --track option even when
the upstream branch is local. Previously --track was silently ignored
when forking from a local branch. Also the command did not error out
when --track was explicitly asked for but the forked point specified
was not an existing branch (i.e. when there is no way to set up the
tracking configuration), but now it correctly does.
The configuration setting branch.autosetupmerge can now be set to
"always", which is equivalent to using --track from the command line.
Setting branch.autosetupmerge to "true" will retain the former behavior
of only setting up branch.*.merge for remote upstream branches.
Includes test cases for the new functionality.

The only differences in behavior should be:
- git checkout -m with non-trivial merging won't print out
merge-recursive messages (see the change in t7201-co.sh)
- git checkout -- paths... will give a sensible error message if
HEAD is invalid as a commit.
- some intermediate states which were written to disk in the shell
version (in particular, index states) are only kept in memory in
this version, and therefore these can no longer be revealed by
later write operations becoming impossible.
- when we change branches, we discard MERGE_MSG, SQUASH_MSG, and
rr-cache/MERGE_RR, like reset always has.
I'm not 100% sure I got the merge recursive setup exactly right; the
base for a non-trivial merge in the shell code doesn't seem
theoretically justified to me, but I tried to match it anyway, and the
tests all pass this way.
Other than these items, the results should be identical to the shell
version, so far as I can tell.

If the test failed, it was giving really unclear ed script
output. Instead, give a diff that sort of suggests the problem. Also
replaces the use of "git diff" for this purpose with "diff -u".

If you have local changes that don't conflict with the
branch-switching changes, these should be kept, not cause errors even
without -m, and be reported afterwards in name-status format.
With -m, the changes carried across should be listed as well. And, for
now, include the merge-recursive output from this process.
Also test the detatched head message in at least one case.

Although it is not advisable, we have always allowed a branch
and a tag to have the same basename (i.e. it is not illegal to
have refs/heads/frotz and refs/tags/frotz at the same time).
When talking about a specific commit, the interpretation of
'frotz' has always been "use tag and then check branch",
although we warn when ambiguities exist.
However "git checkout $name" is defined to (1) first see if it
matches the branch name, and if so switch to that branch; (2)
otherwise it is an instruction to detach HEAD to point at the
commit named by $name. We did not follow this definition when
$name appeared under both refs/heads/ and refs/tags/ -- we
switched to the branch but read the tree from the tagged commit,
which was utterly bogus.

You cannot currently checkout the tip of an existing branch
without moving to the branch.
This allows you to detach your HEAD and place it at such a
commit, with:
$ git checkout master^0

Commit c1a4278e switched the "merging checkout" implementation
from 3-way read-tree to merge-recursive, but forgot that
merge-recursive will signal an unmerged state with its own exit
status code. This prevented the clean-up phase (paths cleanly
merged should not be updated in the index) from running.

This allows "git checkout -m <other-branch>" to notice renames and
carry local changes in the working tree forward.

I've seen some users get into situtations where their HEAD
symbolic-ref is pointing at a non-existant ref. (Sometimes this
happens during clone when the remote repository lacks a 'master'
branch.) If this happens the user is unable to use git-checkout
to switch branches as there is no prior commit to merge from.
So instead of giving the user low-level errors about how HEAD
can't be resolved and how not a single revision was given change
the type of checkout to be a force and go through with the user's
request anyway.
