[PATCH v4 05/19] apply: factor out checkout_target() helper function

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
Jul 10, 2012, 07:03 UTC
Message-ID

When a patch wants to touch a path, if the path exists in the index but is missing in the working tree, "git apply --index" checks out the file to the working tree from the index automatically and then applies the patch.

Split this logic out to a separate helper function.
