I am sorry. I was obviously wrong about 'git checkout-index', as it does not try to unquote if '-z' is specified. So, my previous patch was wrong. The corrected patch is below.

It still uses the same output format whether '-z' is specified or not. Maybe I should change that too to use '\0' as the separator if '-z' is specified?

Dmitry PS Please, add me to 'To:' or 'Cc:' when you reply to my email.
