You also touched the code that depends on opts->accept_pathspec in
the earlier step 1/5; these two steps seem harder to reason about
than necessary---I wonder if it is easier to explain and understand
if these two steps are merged into one and explained together?

Non-standard indentation here.

OK. count_checkout_paths is relevant only when checking out paths
out of a tree-ish, so "expect-commit-only" would be false in such a
situation. On the other hand, if we were checking out a branch (or
detaching), we must have a commit and a tree-ish is insufficient,
so expect_commit_only would be true in such a case.
Makes sense. I am wondering if we still need has_dash_dash, and
also if expect_commit_only is the best name for the variable.
Thanks.
