Subject: [PATCH] Reverse the order of -b and --track in the man page.
Message-ID: <20070423235645.GA197@Hermes.local>

```
Using "-b --track newbranch oldbranch" gives the error:

  git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching
  branches/forcing

However, "--track -b ..." works just fine.
