Well - what you are describing are bugs. No update should ever leave
the working copy in a bad state - that's one reason why working copies
try to be journaling and write logs.

There is one known issue that interrupting a checkout is not
resumable. And there might be some other issues in the issue database
about updates already - but anything that isn't already there needs to
get in there.

If you can, please try to make up reproduction recipes and bug reports
of the invidual problems, so they can be fixed or filed to the issue
database to be fixed later.
