checkout: proper error message on 'git checkout foo bar --'
The previous code was detecting the presence of "--" by looking only at argument 1. As a result, "git checkout foo bar --" was interpreted as an ambiguous file/revision list, and errored out with: error: pathspec 'foo' did not match any file(s) known to git. error: pathspec 'bar' did not match any file(s) known to git. error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git. This patch fixes it by walking through the argument list to find the "--", and now complains about the number of references given.
