From my understanding, tracking branches are very useful to use, but not intended to commit to, since they are a local mirror of a remote branch. For more details on the terminology and the associated git commands, please read the section "Using git for collaboration" on http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/tutorial.html.
