My sincere apologies. I reviewed the original suggestion and it *did* include a "-b my-new-branch" in the instructions. So in fact a new branch was being created, I just missed it. In fact the checkout could be done without creating a branch, which is what I assumed, but probably not the best idea. -- Von Fugal
