Currently if I have a branch checked out in a work-tree, git-checkout will show this error message when checking out that branch:

$ git checkout master fatal: 'master' is already checked out at '/home/dashesy/development/feature'

It would be very useful to instead of this error just change the current working directory, so git checkout would become a `cd` command
