'checkout_entry()' currently only supports creating new entries in the
working tree, but not deleting them.  Add the ability to remove
entries at the same time if the entry is marked with the CE_WT_REMOVE
flag.

Currently this doesn't have any effect, as the CE_WT_REMOVE flag is
only used in unpack-tree, however we will make use of this in a
subsequent step in the series.

This makes the path counting in nd/checkout-noisy less accurate. But
it's not your fault of course.

Junio, do you still want to merge that series down to 'next' or drop
it? If it will be merged down, I'll keep a note and fix it once this
one lands too.

Minor nit: This error message is kinda hard to parse, for someone not
that familiar with all the *_entry functions, like myself.  Maybe add
a comment before this line:
    /* No content and thus no path to create, so we have no pathname
to return */
or reword the error slightly?  Or maybe it's fine and I was just
confused from lack of code familiarity, but I'll throw it out there
since I stumbled on it a bit.

When we check out absense of one path, how do we want to count it?
Do we say "one path checked out?" when we remove one path?

Sure, I still agree with you that "git checkout" that reports what
it did when given a "<branch>", but does not report what it did when
given a "<pathspec>", is being inconsistent.  If it makes it easier
to manage, I can kick nd/checkout-noisy out of 'next' to be rebased
on whatever more appropriate when rewinding its tip.

Thanks.

I'll try to make it more clear in the new round, thanks!

It is still "checked out" according to this non-overlay concept.
Although we could make it clear by saying "5 paths updated, 2 deleted"
(but that may make us say "3 paths added" as well, hmm). Or maybe just
"%d paths updated" where updates include file creation and deletion.

Yeah, the last one is the simplest and good.
