Subject: how to start with non-master branch?
Message-ID: <f46c52560907190553x4e21ffbdn6d55c43f2d6b08ad@mail.gmail.com>

I want my first commit to be on a non-master branch.
So after the git init I do
$ git checkout -b newbranch

I get
fatal: You are on a branch yet to be born

Of course I can get by with making the first commit on master and then
switching.

But wondering if I am missing something basic?
