+<h2>NAME</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<p>git-checkout-index -
+ Copy files from the index to the working directory
+</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<p><em>git-checkout-index</em> [-u] [-q] [-a] [-f] [-n] [--prefix=&lt;string&gt;]
+ [--stage=&lt;number&gt;] [--] &lt;file&gt;&#8230;</p>
+</div>
+<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<p>Will copy all files listed from the index to the working directory
+(not overwriting existing files).</p>
+</div>
+<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<dl>
+<dt>
+-u|--index
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ update stat information for the checked out entries in
+ the index file.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+-q|--quiet
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ be quiet if files exist or are not in the index
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+-f|--force
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ forces overwrite of existing files
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+-a|--all
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ checks out all files in the index. Cannot be used
+ together with explicit filenames.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+-n|--no-create
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Don't checkout new files, only refresh files already checked
+ out.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+--prefix=&lt;string&gt;
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ When creating files, prepend &lt;string&gt; (usually a directory
+ including a trailing /)
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+--stage=&lt;number&gt;
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Instead of checking out unmerged entries, copy out the
+ files from named stage. &lt;number&gt; must be between 1 and 3.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+&#8212;
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<p>The order of the flags used to matter, but not anymore.</p>
+<p>Just doing <tt>git-checkout-index</tt> does nothing. You probably meant
+<tt>git-checkout-index -a</tt>. And if you want to force it, you want
+<tt>git-checkout-index -f -a</tt>.</p>
+<p>Intuitiveness is not the goal here. Repeatability is. The reason for
+the "no arguments means no work" behavior is that from scripts you are
+supposed to be able to do:</p>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre><tt>$ find . -name '*.h' -print0 | xargs -0 git-checkout-index -f --</tt></pre>
+</div></div>
+<p>which will force all existing <tt>*.h</tt> files to be replaced with their
+cached copies. If an empty command line implied "all", then this would
+force-refresh everything in the index, which was not the point.</p>
+<p>The <tt>--</tt> is just a good idea when you know the rest will be filenames;
+it will prevent problems with a filename of, for example, <tt>-a</tt>.
+Using <tt>--</tt> is probably a good policy in scripts.</p>
+</div>
+<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<dl>
+<dt>
+To update and refresh only the files already checked out
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre><tt>$ git-checkout-index -n -f -a &amp;&amp; git-update-index --ignore-missing --refresh</tt></pre>
+</div></div>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+Using <tt>git-checkout-index</tt> to "export an entire tree"
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+ The prefix ability basically makes it trivial to use
+ <tt>git-checkout-index</tt> as an "export as tree" function.
+ Just read the desired tree into the index, and do:
+</p>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre><tt>$ git-checkout-index --prefix=git-export-dir/ -a</tt></pre>
+</div></div>
+<p><tt>git-checkout-index</tt> will "export" the index into the specified
+directory.</p>
+<p>The final "/" is important. The exported name is literally just
+prefixed with the specified string. Contrast this with the
+following example.</p>
+</dd>
+<dt>
+Export files with a prefix
+</dt>
+<dd>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre><tt>$ git-checkout-index --prefix=.merged- Makefile</tt></pre>
+</div></div>
+<p>This will check out the currently cached copy of <tt>Makefile</tt>
+into the file <tt>.merged-Makefile</tt>.</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
