I think it would be better in the synopsis to split this into two use
cases:

  git checkout [<branch>]
  git checkout -b <new_branch> [<start_point>]

And then explain them as separate definitions.

I'd agree it would make it much nicer.

A 5-patch series follows which does this and a few other fixups. I think
the result is better.

  1/5 doc: clarify --no-track option
  2/5 doc: refer to tracking configuration as "upstream"
  3/5 doc/checkout: refer to git-branch(1) as appropriate
  4/5 doc/checkout: split checkout and branch creation in synopsis
  5/5 docs/checkout: clarify what "non-branch" means
