$ git checkout dev
Switched to branch 'dev'
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/dev'.
Suggest improving copy here to make it clear that the branch
might or might not be up to date with the remote origin/dev
.
"Your branch is up to date with 'origin/dev'." only means we
haven't committed any changes to dev
since we last synced.
This has potential of making git easier to understand for beginners.
