This is true, but I don't think it is documented. Does anyone know if this is documented anywhere in particular? The git checkout man pages seem to not mention it, and the git branch page doesn't seem to mention it either, but perhaps I am just missing it? In any case, might be useful to make this behaviour more clear.
