I can't seem to figure out the correct magic to get my buddy's branch, and create the appropriate tracking branch at the same time without doing a clone.

I don't want to branch from my master, just get his branch and the matching tracking branch...

It's been a long day, so sorry for the simplistic question, but how do I do this exactly?
