From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2009 07:13:47 +0000 (-0700) Subject: DWIM "git checkout frotz" to "git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz" X-Git-Tag: v1.6.6-rc0~78^2~1 X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=70c9ac2;p=git.git DWIM "git checkout frotz" to "git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz" When 'frotz' is not a valid object name and not a tracked filename, we used to complain and failed this command. When there is only one remote that has 'frotz' as one of its tracking branches, we can DWIM it as a request to create a local branch 'frotz' forking from the matching remote tracking branch.
