the currently checked out branch is ``master``. That is, it's assumed
you have done something like that::
- $ git clone http://git.python.org/python.git
+ $ git clone https://git.python.org/python.git
$ cd python
$ git branch v1 origin/v1
The same result can be achieved with commands::
- $ git clone -b v1 http://git.python.org/python.git
+ $ git clone -b v1 https://git.python.org/python.git
$ cd python
$ git checkout --track origin/master
When you do an initial clone like this::
- $ git clone -b v1 http://git.python.org/python.git
+ $ git clone -b v1 https://git.python.org/python.git
-git clones remote repository ``http://git.python.org/python.git`` to
+git clones remote repository ``https://git.python.org/python.git`` to
directory ``python``, creates a remote named ``origin``, creates
remote-tracking branches, creates a local branch ``v1``, configure it
to track upstream remotes/origin/v1 branch and checks out ``v1`` into
