DESCRIPTION
-----------
be created; in this case you can use the --track or --no-track
options, which will be passed to `git branch`.
+As a convenience, --track will default to create a branch whose
+name is constructed from the specified branch name by stripping
+the first namespace level.
+
When <paths> are given, this command does *not* switch
branches. It updates the named paths in the working tree from
- the index file (i.e. it runs `git checkout-index -f -u`), or
- from a named commit. In
- this case, the `-f` and `-b` options are meaningless and giving
+ the index file, or from a named commit. In
+ this case, the `-b` options is meaningless and giving
either of them results in an error. <tree-ish> argument can be
used to specify a specific tree-ish (i.e. commit, tag or tree)
to update the index for the given paths before updating the
