Thanks for the feedback, still in this case I believe the problem was
different:

This is completely a mistake on my side.  I tested something different than
what you said.

	$ rm -rf 1 2;mkdir 1 2;cd 1;git init;touch f;git add f;git commit -m f f;cd ..;git clone 1 2;cd 2;git checkout -b x;git push origin x  ;cd ../1;git branch;cd ..
	Switched to a new branch 'x'
	Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
	To /tmp/gittest3/1
	 * [new branch]      x -> x
	* master
	  x

It really works the way you say.  I have updated the Wiki now:

Yes, it is.  I did not know it myself.


Thanks,
