git/branch: implcitly create local branch off origin Currently, creating a local branch off a remote one requires passing the '-nb origin/$branch' argument to git/branch. In addition to being annoying, it opens up the possibility for human error, since passing this argument for an existing branch will clobber it. After this change, a repo in this state: % git/branch -a heads/master remote/origin/master remote/origin/foo will switch to heads/master when running: % git/branch master but will create a new branch foo, based off origin/foo, when running: % git/branch foo
