No they did not, because last time they _created a branch_.
Eventually, if they are lucky, they will learn in #git that they
were supposed to "git merge <remote>/X." And they will think "WTF?
Why do I have to _merge_? And what's this business about remotes?
Why is git is so complicated?"

I'm confused. Wont they actually be told:

  git checkout $foo
  git pull
  git push

Right. Just like they learnt clone/push/pull before knowing about
remote and tracking branches, because clone did the magic for them
when creating the repo.
