ExternalProject: Run `git checkout` with `--` to clarify arguments

Brad King requested to merge brad.king/cmake:ExternalProject-checkout-clarify into master

Fix the case when the tag name to be checked out also happens to match a path name. Unfortunately we cannot do this for Git versions prior to 1.8.5 because they do not "do what I mean" to checkout remote branches when the -- argument is given.

Fixes: #16678 (closed)
