DESCRIPTION
-----------
-When <paths> are not given, this command switches branches by
-updating the index and working tree to reflect the specified
-branch, <branch>, and updating HEAD to be <branch> or, if
-specified, <new_branch>. Using -b will cause <new_branch> to
-be created; in this case you can use the --track or --no-track
-options, which will be passed to `git branch`.
+When <paths> are not given, this command switches branches by updating

+extraneous files present are deleted, use linkgit:git-clean[1] for a
+pristine checkout.) Using -b will cause <new_branch> to be created; in
+this case you can use the --track or --no-track options, which will be

As a convenience, --track will default to create a branch whose
name is constructed from the specified branch name by stripping
