From 969d326d6b54573e171c903fdf9fdc6b107c18d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Shawn Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Date: Fri, 19 May 2006 05:17:16 -0400
Subject: Enable ref log creation in git checkout -b.

Switch git checkout -b to use git-update-ref rather than echo and
a shell I/O redirection.  This is more in line with typical GIT
commands and allows -b to be logged according to the normal ref
logging rules.

Added -l option to allow users to create the ref log at the same
time as creating a branch.
