Re: [PATCH] Extend "checkout --track" DWIM to support more cases

2008/8/22 Junio C Hamano [off-list ref]:

I however wonder if this is clearer.

It is :)

 * "enum branch_track" was unsigned; comparing equality with -1 was Ok but
  we couldn't say 0 < opts.track;

 * argv[] is an array of constant strings; cannot point into it with
  opts.newbranch without making the latter also a constant string.

Cleanup, but it is unrelated, isn't it?

 * the logic is to strip "refs/" if there is one, "remotes/" if there is
  one after that, and then strip one level after that unconditionally.
  No need to look explicitly for a slash while doing the first two steps.

Maybe that should go in documentation instead of the piece I wrote
