Hello gurus!
I looked at https://git-scm.com/community but I failed to find a place to send feature requests to.
Q: How to submit a feature request (rather than a bug)?
----
What is the feature request?

Change git checkout's "Your branch is up to date with 'origin/branch_name_here'" (and similar messages) to "Your branch is up to date with the *local* branch 'origin/branch_name_here'"

Reasoning:

I believe that if the git checkout message "Your branch is up to date with 'origin/branch_name_here'" was "Your branch is up to date with the *local* branch 'origin/branch_name_here'" it would make it clearer to new users what is happening.

Cheers Tymek
