In that example, once you obtained a local branch whose name is
<name>, it is obvious how you would work with that.  Your next "git
checkout <name>" would work on the local one, and only the initial
one does something magical.

Which makes quite a lot of sense.

There is no similarity in it with "--to-branch <tag>" that is being
discussed here.
