Contrasting the above two, one cannot help but notice that it is totally unclear how "git checkout" that is not explicitly told by command line or configuration behaves. Perhaps "`--guess` is the default behaviour." needs to be transplated from the description for "git switch" to clarify? This is not a new issue, but is made stand out even more prominently due to the addition. Thanks.
