If we encounter an error while checking out an explicit path, we print a
message to stderr but do not actually exit with a non-zero code. While
this is a plumbing command and the behavior goes all the way back to
33db5f4d90 (Add a "checkout-cache" command which does what the name
suggests., 2005-04-09), this is almost certainly an oversight:
- we _do_ return an exit code from checkout_file(); the caller just
never reads it
- errors while checking out all paths (with "-a") do result in a
non-zero exit code.
- it would be quite unusual not to use the exit code for an error,
as otherwise the caller has no idea the command failed except by
scraping stderr
To keep our tests simple and portable, we can use the most obvious
error: asking to checkout a path which is not in the index at all.

If checkout-index is given --stage=all for a specific path, it will try
to write stages 1-3 (if present) for that path to temporary files.
However, if the file is present only at stage 0, it writes nothing but
gives a confusing message:
$ git checkout-index --stage=all -- Makefile
git checkout-index: Makefile does not exist at stage 4
This is nonsense. There is no stage 4 (it's just an internal enum value
we use for "all"), and the documentation clearly states:
Paths which only have a stage 0 entry will always be omitted from the
output.
Here it's talking about the list of tempfiles written to stdout, but it
seems clear that this case was not meant to be an error. We even have a
test which covers it, but it only checks that the command reports an
exit code of 0, not its stderr. And it reports 0 only because of another
bug which fails to propagate errors (which will be fixed in a subsequent
patch).
So let's make the test more thorough. We'll also cover the case that we
found _no_ entry, not even a stage zero, which should still be an error.
However, because of the other bug, we'll have to mark this as expecting
failure for the moment.

checkout-index --temp only properly prints relative paths which are
descendants of the current directory. Paths in ancestor or sibling
directories (or their children) are often printed in mangled form. For
example:
mkdir a bbb &&
>file &&
>bbb/file &&
git update-index --add file bbb/file &&
cd a &&
git checkout-index --temp ../file ../bbb/file
prints:
.merge_file_ooblek le
.merge_file_igloo0 b/file
rather than the correct:
.merge_file_ooblek ../file
.merge_file_igloo0 ../bbb/file
Internally, given the above example, checkout-index prefixes each input
argument with the name of the current directory ("a/", in this case),
and then assumes that it can simply skip forward by strlen("a/") bytes
to recover the original name. This works for files in the current
directory or its descendants, but fails for files in ancestors or
siblings (or their children) due to path normalization.
For instance, given "../file", "a/" is prepended, giving "a/../file".
Path normalization folds out "a/../", resulting in "file". Attempting
to recover the original name by skipping strlen("a/") bytes gives the
incorrect "le" rather than the desired "../file".
Fix this by taking advantage of write_name_quoted_relative() to recover
the original name properly, rather than assuming that it can be
recovered by skipping strlen(prefix) bytes.
As a bonus, this also fixes a bug in which checkout-index --temp
accessed and printed memory beyond the end-of-string. For instance,
within a subdirectory named "subdirectory", and given argument
"../file", prefixing would give "subdirectory/../file", which would
become "file" after normalization. checkout-index would then attempt to
recover the original name by skipping strlen("subdirectory/") bytes of
"file", which placed it well beyond end-of-string. Despite this error,
it often appeared to give the correct result, but only due to an
accident of implementation which left an apparently correct copy of the
path in memory following the normalized value. In particular, handed
"subdirectory/../file", in-place processing by normalize_path_copy_len()
resulted in "file\0rectory/../file". When checkout-index skipped
strlen("subdirectory/") bytes, it ended up back at "../file" and thus
appeared to give the correct answer, despite being past end-of-string.

Unfortunately, testing is complicated slightly by relative paths
sometimes _appearing_ to be printed correctly, but this is an accident
of implementation in which a "correct" copy of the string exists in
memory beyond the end of the real string, and that "correct" copy gets
printed. This test takes care to avoid the accidentally "correct"
behavior by testing with a filename longer than the directory name in
which checkout-index is invoked.

Unlike earlier tests which reference several trees prepared by "setup",
no other tests utilize the tree from the "symlink" test, so there is no
need to write it (or read it back immediately).

There are many instances where the treatment of symbolic links in the
object model and the algorithms are tested, but where it is not
necessary to actually have a symbolic link in the worktree. Make
adjustments to the tests and remove the SYMLINKS prerequisite when
appropriate in trivial cases, where "trivial" means:
- merely a replacement of 'ln -s a b && git add b' by test_ln_s_add
is needed;
- a test for symbolic link on the file system can be split off (and
remains protected by SYMLINKS);
- existing code is equivalent to test_ln_s_add.

Many tests depend on that symbolic links work. This introduces a check
that sets the prerequisite tag SYMLINKS if the file system supports
symbolic links. Since so many tests have to check for this prerequisite,
we do the check in test-lib.sh, so that we don't need to repeat the test
in many scripts.
To check for 'ln -s' failures, you can use a FAT partition on Linux:
$ mkdosfs -C git-on-fat 1000000
$ sudo mount -o loop,uid=j6t,gid=users,shortname=winnt git-on-fat /mnt
Clone git to /mnt and
$ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t0001.1[34] t0010 t1301 t403[34] t4129.[47] t5701.7
t7701.3 t9100 t9101.26 t9119 t9124.[67] t9200.10 t9600.6' \
make test
(These additionally skipped tests depend on POSIX permissions that FAT on
Linux does not provide.)

Sometimes it is convient for a Porcelain to be able to checkout all
unmerged files in all stages so that an external merge tool can be
executed by the Porcelain or the end-user. Using git-unpack-file
on each stage individually incurs a rather high penalty due to the
need to fork for each file version obtained. git-checkout-index -a
--stage=all will now do the same thing, but faster.
