Cool, looks like what I need for the Newbie class.

I just glanced through a description of checking out branches and didn't see the feature that creates a remote-tracking branch foo when you `git checkout foo`, and foo isn't a local branch but does exist on the remote.

Very cool of you to open your text up like that. I'll get a bunch of copies of ProGit ordered as soon as I can.
