History of !remote_tracking_branch
- Remote-tracking branches (branches which start with e.g. 'origin/', listed by 'git branch -r') are read-only mirrors of the branches in another repository. They're updated by 'git fetch'. You can't edit them directly (trying to check them out results in a !detached HEAD), but you can create a local branch based on a remote-tracking branch using e.g. 'git checkout -b <branch> <remote>/<branch>'

- Remote-tracking branches (branches which start with e.g. 'origin/') are local records of the states of the corresponding remote branches. They're updated by 'git fetch'. You can't edit them directly (trying to check them out results in a detached HEAD), but you can create a new local branch based on a remote-tracking branch using e.g. 'git checkout -b <branch> <remote>/<branch>'
