+ If `<branch>` is not found but there does exist a tracking
+ branch in exactly one remote (call it `<remote>`) with a
+ matching name, treat as equivalent to
++
+------------
+$ git checkout -b <branch> --track <remote>/<branch>
+------------
++
+If the branch exists in multiple remotes and one of them is named by
+the `checkout.defaultRemote` configuration variable, we'll use that
+one for the purposes of disambiguation, even if the `<branch>` isn't
+unique across all remotes. Set it to
+e.g. `checkout.defaultRemote=origin` to always checkout remote
+branches from there if `<branch>` is ambiguous but exists on the
+'origin' remote. See also `checkout.defaultRemote` in
+linkgit:git-config[1].
++
+Use `--no-guess` to disable this.
