I was just recently wondering why that worked (in the context of trying to have builtin-clone work the same way). Guess that explains it...

Junio: it looks like something used to cause read-tree to be run with 
pwd being the working tree root in git-checkout.sh; is that something that 
should be done in setup for builtin-checkout, or should unpack_trees learn 
how to deal correctly with a non-pwd work tree root?
