Similar to git remote add --track it'll pull all branches specified by a --track option and checkout the first one or -o <name> if given. For me personally it's not an improvemen, because I just need to clone on branch, but as git remote add allows multiple branches specified by --track I thought this might be an improvment. -- 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
