What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
In your local repo have a directory that you cannot write to.
Pull from a remote that has changes/new files in that directory.
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
The pull fails and the local repo in the same state as before.
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
All changes to writeable files are applied and all new files in
writeable dirs are added.
The local HEAD however remained the same.
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
A failed `git pull` inadvertently creates changes and untracked files.
