DESCRIPTION
updating the index and working tree to reflect the specified
branch, <branch>, and updating HEAD to be <branch> or, if
specified, <new_branch>. Using -b will cause <new_branch> to
-be created.
+be created; in this case you can use the --track or --no-track
+options, which will be passed to `git branch`.
When <paths> are given, this command does *not* switch
branches. It updates the named paths in the working tree from
by gitlink:git-check-ref-format[1]. Some of these checks
may restrict the characters allowed in a branch name.
+--track::
+ When -b is given and a branch is created off a remote branch,
+ setup so that git-pull will automatically retrieve data from
+ the remote branch.
+
+--no-track::
+ When -b is given and a branch is created off a remote branch,
+ force that git-pull will automatically retrieve data from
+ the remote branch independent of the configuration settings.
+
-l::
Create the new branch's ref log. This activates recording of
all changes to made the branch ref, enabling use of date
