Re: remote branch checkout issue, why its *(no branch)

What you can do is to create _local_ branch, closely tied to
remote-tracking branch 'origin/B1', by using:

  $ git branch -b B1 --track origin/B1

You mixed up checkout and branch there ;-)

It's either

git branch B1 origin/B1 # Just create a branch B1

or

git checkout -b B1 origin/B1 # Create and checkout B1

I omitted the "--track" as, by default, it is implied when you create a
new branch from a remote tracking branch.
