This makes the clean.requireForce configuration default to true.
Too many people are burned by typing "git clean" by mistake when
they meant to say "make clean".

Although it is not advisable, we have always allowed a branch
and a tag to have the same basename (i.e. it is not illegal to
have refs/heads/frotz and refs/tags/frotz at the same time).
When talking about a specific commit, the interpretation of
'frotz' has always been "use tag and then check branch",
although we warn when ambiguities exist.
However "git checkout $name" is defined to (1) first see if it
matches the branch name, and if so switch to that branch; (2)
otherwise it is an instruction to detach HEAD to point at the
commit named by $name. We did not follow this definition when
$name appeared under both refs/heads/ and refs/tags/ -- we
switched to the branch but read the tree from the tagged commit,
which was utterly bogus.

You cannot currently checkout the tip of an existing branch
without moving to the branch.
This allows you to detach your HEAD and place it at such a
commit, with:
$ git checkout master^0

Commit c1a4278e switched the "merging checkout" implementation
from 3-way read-tree to merge-recursive, but forgot that
merge-recursive will signal an unmerged state with its own exit
status code. This prevented the clean-up phase (paths cleanly
merged should not be updated in the index) from running.

This allows "git checkout -m <other-branch>" to notice renames and
carry local changes in the working tree forward.

I've seen some users get into situtations where their HEAD
symbolic-ref is pointing at a non-existant ref. (Sometimes this
happens during clone when the remote repository lacks a 'master'
branch.) If this happens the user is unable to use git-checkout
to switch branches as there is no prior commit to merge from.
So instead of giving the user low-level errors about how HEAD
can't be resolved and how not a single revision was given change
the type of checkout to be a force and go through with the user's
request anyway.

When we updated "read-tree -m -u" to be careful about not
removing untracked working tree files, we broke "checkout -m" to
switch between branches.
