From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx> If a user has a file with local modifications that is not marked as SKIP_WORKTREE, but the sparsity patterns are such that it should be marked that way, and the user then invokes a command like * git checkout -q HEAD^ or * git read-tree -mu HEAD^ Then the file will be deleted along with all the users' modifications. Add a testcase demonstrating this problem. Note: This bug only triggers if something other than 'HEAD' is given; if the commands above had specified 'HEAD', then the users' file would be left alone.
