This reverts commit 0d1a151.

When trying to switch to a different branch, that happens to be

give up the other safety measures (like protecting the local changes
that overlap the difference between the branches) while defeating
the "no two checkouts of the same branch" safety.

--ignore-other-worktrees::
`git checkout` refuses when the wanted ref is already checked
out by another worktree. This option makes it check the ref
out anyway. In other words, the ref can be held by more than one
worktree.
