Subject: Tracking remote branches
Message-ID: <a4c8a6d00909131737v35d7c63dsea669f47456f5acb@mail.gmail.com>

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?
