[PATCH 1/3] checkout: reorder check_filename conditional

If we have a "--" flag, we should not be doing DWIM magic based on whether arguments can be filenames. Reorder the conditional to avoid the check_filename() call entirely in this case. The outcome is the same, but the short-circuit makes the dependency more clear.
