Yes -- and the first time that you do that, it will tell you that the
local `gr2' branch is set up to track the remote one.  The thing is
that git can deal with arbitrary branch names -- so it tells you that
this particular checkout created a local branch that tracks the remote
(so in the future when you do a `pull' on that branch it will get it
from the remote).  This is in contrast to Jon's confusion, where he
created a `gr2' branch that was unrelated to the remote one.
