Not sure what's the argument here, but aren't the two commands
equivalent? Do you prefer the second syntax "git checkout -t
<remote>/<branch>"? It's already a DWIM for "git checkout -b <branch>
-t <remote>/<branch>", and I find this one far more confusing:

git checkout    <remote>/<branch> => detaches HEAD
git checkout -t <remote>/<branch> => creates a local branch automatically
