Hm, perhaps I should simplify the page a bit then.

Well, that will never be included - I find it really confusing and try
to discourage people from using it in favor of 'git checkout -b foo
origin/foo' because i feel it's much more consistent.   I would like
to make the tracking branch section a bit better, but that's not
really an 'out of date' thing.

Thanks again,
