Same here with Git 1.9.1.

I beleive it's [1]; precisely this bit:

I'm lazy to search which first released version of Git this change ended
up but I'm sure it's already in.

This group is for helping people with using Git; for change requests / bug 
reports you should use the g...@vger.kernel.org mailling list as stated on 
the git-scm community page . That said, 
here's the error I get when running *git-checkout -t* with no arguments 
using git v2.1.0 in case you have a different, more obscure one (due to an 
older version of git for instance):

$ git checkout -t
fatal: --track needs a branch name
