--track::
|

When -b is given and a branch is created off a remote branch,
|
||||
set up configuration so that git-pull will automatically
|
||||
retrieve data from the remote branch. Set the
|
||||
retrieve data from the remote branch. Use this if you always
|
||||
pull from the same remote branch into the new branch, or if you
|
||||
don't want to use "git pull <repository> <refspec>" explicitly. Set the
|
||||
branch.autosetupmerge configuration variable to true if you
|
||||
want git-checkout and git-branch to always behave as if
|
||||
'--track' were given.
