correct errant instructions that would leave a branch with the same commit SHA as the copy it came from

Checkout a specific branch from origin, and track it.

What if you enter <code>git checkout -b REL1_29</code> when you *should have entered* <code>git checkout -b REL1_29 origin/REL1_29</code>? ~~Just~~ J<s>ust tell git that you meant to track the branch in origin: <code>git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/REL1_29 REL1_29</code></s> Set upstream doesn't do what's intended here! You should delete the branch that you created as a 'copy'; and then checkout the branch correctly.
