Re: Can I checkout a single file without altering index?

Thank's a lot for all your responses. I know now how to solve my problem. I'll definitely not going to commit my unit-test before my fix and publish that because then I would have commits in the history where tests fail. But other suggested solutions do work.

Still, all that sounds like workarounds for a lacking feature. Checkout content to the worktree without altering the index. What do you think, couldn't that be added as an option to checkout?
