I am no git wiz but it seems like you are making things more complicated than they have to be. When you type 'git checkout <branchname>' it automatically creates a remote tracking branch. I can see no good reason to checkout the remote branch (the one prefixed with origin/) and force it to suppress its warning when you can just checkout a branch normally. Your response was informative but did not tell me why you choose a more complicated route, instead of the straightforward 'git checkout <branchname>'. -Justin
