For v1.5.0, git-clone sets up a remote repository so that
you can look at what's going on remotely like this:

  git log origin/next

To create your branch, you have to do something like

  git-checkout -b my-branch origin/next
  git-config add branch.my-branch.remote origin
  git-config add branch.my-branch.merge refs/heads/next

Note that the branch in the last command is the remote branch
name not the local name.


With the current git "master" branch, you are able to do
something like

  git-checkout --track -b my-branch origin/next

and git-pull (with no arguments) will automatically pull from
whatever branch you specified upon branch creation.  --track
also works with local branches, so you can have your topic
branches track the tip of your current development branch,
for example.
