Subject: [PATCH 2/2] worktree add -B: do the checkout test before update branch

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2016 20:35:33 +0700

If --force is not given but -B is, we should not proceed if the given
branch is already checked out elsewhere. add_worktree() has this test,
but it kicks in too late when "git branch --force" is already
executed. As a result, even though we correctly refuse to create a new
worktree, we have already updated the branch and mess up the other
checkout.

Repeat the die_if_checked_out() test again for this specific case before
"git branch" runs.

 Something extra while I was studying this code. I'm not so sure if
 this is the right way.
 
 Another option is do it in "git branch" which rejects with "Cannot
 force update the current branch", but only for current worktree.
