Hi Chuck,

it works fine here:

~/wireshark/git$ git remote -v
downstream      [email protected]:pquantin/wireshark.git (fetch)
downstream      [email protected]:pquantin/wireshark.git (push)
upstream        [email protected]:wireshark/wireshark.git (fetch)
upstream        [email protected]:wireshark/wireshark.git (push)
~/wireshark/git$ git checkout -b test upstream/release-4.0
Branch 'test' set up to track remote branch 'release-4.0' from 'upstream'.
Switched to a new branch 'test'
