In that example, once you obtained a local branch whose name is <name>, it is obvious how you would work with that. Your next "git checkout <name>" would work on the local one, and only the initial one does something magical. Which makes quite a lot of sense. There is no similarity in it with "--to-branch <tag>" that is being discussed here.
