           When switching branches, proceed even if the index or the working tree differs from HEAD, and even if
           there are untracked files in the way. This is used to throw away local changes and any untracked files or
           directories that are in the way.

           When checking out paths from the index, do not fail upon unmerged entries; instead, unmerged entries are
           ignored.
