still perusing kernel dev manual, and section 3.5 talks about git-related directives such as branch newbranch git merge myfeature but over in the linux-yocto_3.19 git repo in the meta branch, there's an example, features/pvr/pvr.scc, whose contents are: git branch pvr master whose format is technically not explained in that section in the kernel dev manual. are there more shortcuts going on here?
In this case, they aren't shortcuts, just variants. When a wrapped command (branch vs 'git branch') is used, there is extra error checking and sanity that happens. Both are valid, it all depends on what the developer is trying to do .. and whether they know how to not hurt themselves (i.e. they do want to inhibit the checks to use an extra branch flag, etc).
