A 5-patch series follows which does this and a few other fixups. I think the result is better. 1/5 doc: clarify --no-track option 2/5 doc: refer to tracking configuration as "upstream" 3/5 doc/checkout: refer to git-branch(1) as appropriate 4/5 doc/checkout: split checkout and branch creation in synopsis 5/5 docs/checkout: clarify what "non-branch" means -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
