From 2059ed205ebdf1b6837077db6cea6d29a4fbcf4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Implement a Dircache checkout (needed for merge)

Implementation of a checkout (or 'git read-tree') operation which
works together with DirCache. This implementation does similar things
as WorkDirCheckout which main problem is that it works with deprecated
GitIndex. Since GitIndex doesn't support multiple stages of a file
which is required in merge situations this new implementation is
required to enable merge support.
