%prog <newbranchname> [<project>...]

This subcommand starts a new branch of development that is automatically
pulled from a remote branch.

It is equivalent to the following git commands:

"git branch --track <newbranchname> m/<codeline>",
or 
"git checkout --track -b <newbranchname> m/<codeline>".

All three forms set up the config entries that repo bases some of its
processing on.  Use %prog or git branch or checkout with --track to ensure
the configuration data is set up properly.
