Hello,
Kind of convoluted, and perhaps not even an error.
On a repository with a remote tracking branch, say
remotes/origin/master, then do this:
git checkout -b temp origin/master
git checkout origin/master
git branch
* temp
This might seem like an odd thing to want to do, but I found this
because the next thing I wanted to do was
git branch -D temp
Which won't work because the branch hasn't changed.
Andy
