i would recommend using "0", which will never be a valid hash code and
doesn't require unusual special-case checks in the emacs mode parsing code
(or shell scripts for that matter).

i don't think "checkout" is the right place for that, because it works on
the whole repo, not a specific file. i think finfo would be a better place:

i looked at your code earlier. IMO, finfo sounds like the place for the (1)
and (2) functionality, though i agree that "status" might be more intuitive.
When i say "sounds like the place for it", i mean mainly to avoid changing
the existing functionality of "status" too much (though i agree it'd
probably be easier for people to find).
