 currently checked out branch is ``v2``. That is, it's assumed you have
 done something like that::
 
+    $ git clone -b v2 http://git.python.org/python.git
+    $ cd python
+    $ git branch v1 origin/v1
+
+The last command creates a new local branch v1 and sets
+remotes/origin/v1 as its upstream remote branch.

+The same result can achieved with commands::
+
     $ git clone -b v1 http://git.python.org/python.git
     $ cd python
-    $ git fetch origin v2:v2
-    $ git checkout -b v2
+    $ git checkout --track origin/v2
+
+The last command creates a new local branch v2, sets
+remotes/origin/v2 as its upstream remote branch and checks it out into
+the working directory.
