Yeah, topath[][] can be reused in the next checkout_entry() call. But
if have_tempname is false, the positions that are going to be used
again (either checkout_stage or 1, 2, and 3, if checkout_stage ==
CHECKOUT_ALL) will be already empty. So I think we only need to clear
topath[][] when have_tempname is false.
