      At the moment in SourceTree for Windows v3.4.17,
      Checking-out a git branch that already exist locally, shows an ugly red error that says:


      git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false --no-optional-locks checkout -b master --track origin/master
      fatal: a branch named 'master' already exists
      Completed with errors, see above.

      Please, instead of showing that error, show another dialog to allow the user to "checkout the existing local branch and pull changes",
      just like GitGraph tool for VS-Code does:

      This is a task that developers have to do everyday, to change from one branch to the "master" branch by clicking in the branch label shown in the Graph.
