die_if_checked_out() seems to be grossly misnamed following this change since a branch (or detached head) can be "checked out", but asking it if a HEAD or NOTES_MERGE_REF is "checked out" sounds weird. Perhaps rename it to die_if_symref_shared() or something?

The new argument order, die_if_checked_out("HEAD", "branchname"), also seems backward to me, at least with the current function name (die_if_checked_out). With a better function name, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

I could also see die_if_checked_out() being refactored to move the underlying logic to a new (better named) function for checking the value of a particular file (HEAD, NOTES_MERGE_REF) in each linked worktree. And then die_if_checked_out() would be a thin wrapper over that new function. A reason for preferring this approach and keeping die_if_checked_out() as a convenience wrapper is that it's likely that it's going to be needed in more places in the future.
