I always find explicit examples clearer, especially since you really
have no idea what the reader expects. Some folks just have
unreasonable expectations. :-)
So,
master> git checkout next
next> git branch --track mybranch @{-1}
Creates "mybranch" from master, *not from next*, correct?
Also, the "--track" option is an unnecessary distraction to the
example, isn't it?
