Subject: [PATCH v2 5/8] checkout: clarify comment

From: Thomas Gummerer <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2018 13:48:17 +0000

The key point for the if statement is that read_tree_some did not
update the entry, because either it doesn't exist in tree-ish or
doesn't match the pathspec.  Clarify that.
