This has been requested a few times and I have no idea what the
development status of it is.  Most people seem to recommend just
making an alias around git checkout-index.

It's not really a misuse, as the [man page
itself](http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-checkout-index.html)
recommends using checkout-index as a way to export an entire tree.
Until someone decides that it's worth making the porcelain command
(like you perhaps) then I think you can just stick with checkout-index
knowing you're not abusing anything.
