2019-02-04revert "checkout: introduce checkout.overlayMode config"Thomas Gummerer
This reverts 1495ff7da5 ("checkout: introduce checkout.overlayMode config", 2019-01-08) and thus removes the checkout.overlayMode config option. The option was originally introduced to give users the option to make the new no-overlay behaviour the default. However users may be using 'git checkout' in scripts, even though it is porcelain. Users setting the option to false may actually end up accidentally breaking scripts. With the introduction of a new subcommand that will make the behaviour the default, the config option will not be needed anymore anyway. Revert the commit and remove the config option, so we don't risk breaking scripts.

2019-01-08checkout: introduce checkout.overlayMode configThomas Gummerer
In the previous patch we introduced a new no-overlay mode for git checkout. Some users (such as the author of this commit) may want to have this mode turned on by default as it matches their mental model more closely. Make that possible by introducing a new config option to that extend. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gummerer <t.gummerer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-01-08checkout: introduce --{,no-}overlay optionThomas Gummerer
Currently 'git checkout' is defined as an overlay operation, which means that if in 'git checkout <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' we have an entry in the index that matches <pathspec>, but that doesn't exist in <tree-ish>, that entry will not be removed from the index or the working tree. Introduce a new --{,no-}overlay option, which allows using 'git checkout' in non-overlay mode, thus removing files from the working tree if they do not exist in <tree-ish> but match <pathspec>. Note that 'git checkout -p <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' already works this way, so no changes are needed for the patch mode. We disallow 'git checkout --overlay -p' to avoid confusing users who would expect to be able to force overlay mode in 'git checkout -p' this way. Untracked files are not affected by this change, so 'git checkout --no-overlay HEAD -- untracked' will not remove untracked from the working tree. This is so e.g. 'git checkout --no-overlay HEAD -- dir/' doesn't delete all untracked files in dir/, but rather just resets the state of files that are known to git.
