I consider the first one is not part of the series but a bugfix.
The remainder is to teach "git checkout" not to punt in the middle once it
has started touching the work tree.
It does _not_ attempt to autorename a file whose name is NUL to something
else. Partly because I personally think that sort of magic (or "a cute
hack") makes the system unnecessarily complex and fragile while not adding
much to the usability, but more importantly because I do not think we are
ready to adopt that kind of complexity yet, before fixing more basic issue
like this series addresses.
[PATCH 1/5] "git checkout -- paths..." should error out when paths cannot be written
