There's checkout.defaultRemote that changes this behavior and it affects git-switch as well. I like the idea of giving more information than just the terse (and technically correct) "cannot find branch". But I may have to delay implementing this a bit. There's a been a lot of updates in git-switch (which is great, don't get me wrong, I appreciate the feedback). I need to get v4 out for review soon then maybe handle the rest in v5 (and finally take a real hard look at git-restore comments). -- Duy
