I think most of the places we try to enclose these literals inside quotes, so I'd squash in a patch to make this:

		die(_("'%s' cannot be used with updating paths"), "--track");
and update others to match.

This is one of the only few places that end a sentence with a full-stop.

Style;
Show 7 quoted lines

I tried this codepath and the message left me feeling uneasy.  I'd do:
		die(_("git checkout: --detach does not take a path argument '%s'"),
			argv[0]);

Other than these, I didn't find anything obviously wrong with my final review before merging to 'next', so I'll merge it soonish.

Thanks.
