Checkout notification flags
Checkout will invoke an options notification callback (notify_cb) for certain cases - you pick which ones via notify_flags:
Returning a non-zero value from this callback will cancel the checkout. The non-zero return value will be propagated back and returned by the git_checkout_... call.
Notification callbacks are made prior to modifying any files on disk, so canceling on any notification will still happen prior to any files being modified.
