Tracking remote branches

Hi,

I'm not understanding what is happening here. I tried to track a remote branch, origin/maint from git. So I did: $ git branch --track maint origin/maint $ git checkout maint

I know that I could do simply, instead of above: $ git checkout --track -b maint origin/maint

OK, now I switched to maint branch. And then I did: $ git status

# On branch maint # Changes to be committed # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # new file: git-remote-curl # new file: git-replace #

What happened here? What I have to do now?
