Assert that whenever there's a DWIM checkout that the index should be
clean afterwards, in addition to the correct branch being checked-out.
The way the DWIM checkout code in checkout.[ch] works is by looping
over all remotes, and for each remote trying to find if a given
reference name only exists on that remote, or if it exists anywhere
else.
This is done by starting out with a `unique = 1` tracking variable in
a struct shared by the entire loop, which will get set to `0` if the
data reference is not unique.
Thus if we find a match we know the dst_oid member of
tracking_name_data must be correct, since it's associated with the
only reference on the only remote that could have matched our query.
But if there was ever a mismatch there for some reason we might end up
with the correct branch checked out, but at the wrong oid, which would
show whatever the difference between the two staged in the
index (checkout branch A, stage changes from the state of branch B).
So let's amend the tests (mostly added in) 399e4a1c56 ("t2024: Add
tests verifying current DWIM behavior of 'git checkout <branch>'",
2013-04-21) to always assert that "status" is clean after we run
"checkout", that's being done with "-uno" because there's going to be
some untracked files related to the test itself which we don't care
about.
In all these tests (DWIM or otherwise) we start with a clean index, so
these tests are asserting that that's still the case after the
"checkout", failed or otherwise.
Then if we ever run into this sort of regression, either in the
existing code or with a new feature, we'll know.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
