-b requires an argument <new_branch>, which you specify as --no-track
here.  <start_point> is topic, and the rest is interpreted as <paths>.

This error is detected before validating <new_branch>.

You can also specify --no-track after -b (and its argument):

$ git checkout -b topic --no-track remotes/origin/master
