Matthieu, I spend my days reading the git manual and also the source
code, which is not normal IMHO. I always look for examples but in the
case of 'git branch' there is not many that are really useful!
I suggest to add this as an example since it is probably the most common
case (one would expect that a new branch simply mimics the characteristics
of the starting branch, no ?)
git branch --track small_fixes origin
And it does what I want.
Again, the behavior changed: just upgraded to 1.7.0.3, before then I was
doing branches like this:
git checkout -b small_fixes
git pull
From my point of view, that was neat!
The --track and <start-point>=origin seemed to be implied. I find that this
is a better better default (OR 'git pull' was defaulting to 'git pull
origin HEAD').
As of now, 'git branch x' seem to be of little use without more configuration.
