Also This blog mentions a very easy way to create a report of all documents which are currently checked out in a site it is listed again here 


1) Go to (out of the box) List  'Content and Structure Reports' and add a New Item.
2) Fill the following values:
    Report Title : CheckedOutFiles
    Resource Id : SmtCheckOutUser
    Resource Id : SmtCheckedOutReportDescription
    CAML List Type : <Lists ServerTemplate="101"/>
    CAML Query : <Where><Geq><FieldRef Name='CheckoutUser' LookupId='TRUE'/><Value Type='int'>0</Value></Geq></Where>
     Report Description : All documents and pages checked out in this site and subsites
3) Navigate to Site Settings -> Site Administration -> Content and structure
4) This gives context to the right-hand window where you can look at views and manipulate content in certain ways.
5) If you click on view: and choose the latest added 'Content and structure' item you can view all the documents checked out in all the document library in the site and its subsite
