It's just a branch yet to be born.
At that point, the working copy contains no files. Sure, git assumes I'll start development on a branch named "master", but "git checkout --track b/master" effectively creates and checks out a new master branch, making it irrelevant that "git init" arranged for a master branch to come into existence the first time I did a "git commit". > But I agree that the output would be better without that last line.
