What I am trying to clarify is that a remote branch will never be the
default for the start-point argument to git-branch, so if someone wants
a remote branch as start-point, then the branch must be explicitly
specified.
    
Because I misread your updated documentation, somehow I thought you were
talking about "checkout -b".  Sorry for getting confused (and perhaps
giving a confusing answer).

There are two concepts you seem to be confused about: <start-point> and
branch tracking.
  
I indeed confused these concepts and I think your patch makes the 
documentation clearer here
