I think you mean 'git checkout'; 'git branch' *creates* branches, it 
does not switch between branches.

...and that's still more than we needed with svn.

My update script doesn't like git repos without a 'master' branch, so I 
set up one (locally). Now, is there a way to say that this should track 
some "latest" branch upstream so that 'git pull --rebase' will rebase 
master less its old upstream onto the new "latest" flavor from upstream? 
If yes, that would solve this problem...
