i'm kind of confused here?
do you intend to update/change the repository or the working directory (your local copy)?

well, you should not any files when running the checkout command. these are necessary for update/commit/.. but not for checkout. what exactly is the exception?

not completely sure whta you want to achieve, your suggested solution might or might not solve the problem, can't tell without more details.

you should be able to do that with a checkout. for simplicity you could just perform the checkout in a temp directory (the single file only) send it to the user and then delete the temp dir.
a more difficult solution would be to rewrite the handlers to stream the file directly to user functioning as a pipe.
