I don't have the information handy but it was most probably pre-1.5. I don't know if my 'branching habits' are common, but I found that the old behavior to be more natural with the way we work (creating branches for quick parallel work). If the current behavior is here to stay, I would humbly suggest to mention the 'git checkout -b x origin' syntax in the manual (and 'git branch --track x origin'). On a positive note, I would like to say that there is a good progress regarding the messages git prints to guide the user. That is helpful. -- aghiles -- 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
