I'm trying to understand a few git concepts as they relate to Yocto. Reading the 1.2 version of the Development Manual Appendix A (http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#dev-manual-bsp-appendix), I see the statement:

$ git checkout denzil-7.0 -b denzil


What I think this does is create me a local branch that is fixed to what was committed when the denzil-7.0 tag was created and it will remain that way and will not track the denzil branch as it gets updated. Right????

Now if I want to track the denzil branch as changes are committed, I think I do the following.

$ git checkout origin/denzil -b denzil


Now I can do git pull commands to get the updates that are committed. Right??
