checkout: check_linked_checkout: improve "already checked out" aesthetic

sunshineco · gitster · commit 39e69e151951 · 2015-07-20T11:29:24.000-07:00
When check_linked_checkout() discovers that the branch is already
checked out elsewhere, it emits the diagnostic:

    'blorp' is already checked out at '/some/path/.git'

which is misleading since "checked out at" implies the working tree, but
".git" is the location of the repository administrative files. Fix by
dropping ".git" from the message.
