-----------
Reads the tree information given by <tree-ish> into the index,
but does not actually *update* any of the files it "caches". (see:
-gitlink:git-checkout-index[1])
+linkgit:git-checkout-index[1])
Optionally, it can merge a tree into the index, perform a
fast-forward (i.e. 2-way) merge, or a 3-way merge, with the `-m`
trees that are not directly related to the current
working tree status into a temporary index file.
+-v::
+ Show the progress of checking files out.
+
--trivial::
Restrict three-way merge by `git-read-tree` to happen
only if there is no file-level merging required, instead
have finished your work-in-progress), attempt the merge again.
