I don't have the information handy but it was most probably pre-1.5.
I don't know if my 'branching habits' are common, but I found that
the old behavior to be more natural with the way we work (creating
branches for quick parallel work).

If the current behavior is here to stay, I would humbly suggest to
mention the 'git checkout -b x origin' syntax in the manual (and
'git branch --track x origin').

On a positive note, I would like to say that there is a good progress
regarding the messages git prints to guide the user. That is helpful.
