git clone reports $GIT_DIR as the destination of a clone operation,
which is correct but possibly confusing for new users cloning into
non-bare repositories.
Thus, report additionally the check out process as
checking out branch $branchname into worktree $worktree
which has the additional benefit of confirming the checked out branch
(as specified by -b, defaulting to master).
In the case of a detached head, (null) is the branch name.

I mean something like this. Noobs won't use --no-checkout so that a
check out message should help all possibly confused users.
