Check in/out used to be bound to C-x C-q (because back then, most of the
version control tools did use read-only to indicate their status), so
the above message is there to remind people who have C-x C-q hardcoded
in their fingers that maybe they really meant to type C-x v v.

BTW, why did you type C-x C-q?  Is the file read-only?
