Hi Andreas, > > -b requires an argument <new_branch>, which you specify as --no-track > here. <start_point> is topic, and the rest is interpreted as <paths>. > The man page describes --track and --no-track as "options". This is why a reader thinks that they can be specified in any order. It is also very counter-intuitive to think that --no-track is <new_branch> and <start_point> is topic. This is certainly not what the command does with these data because it creates a new branch whose name is <new_branch> and not --no-track.
