[PATCH 1/2] checkout: do not check out unmerged higher stages randomly

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
Aug 29, 2008, 21:39 UTC
Message-ID
<7vbpzb4i1h.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org>

During a conflicted merge when you have unmerged stages for a path F in the index, if you asked:

    $ 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 patch fixes it by noticing that a specified pathspec pattern matches an unmerged path, and by erroring out.
