Merge branch 'jh/checkout-auto-tracking' into maint

"git branch --track" had a minor regression in v1.8.3.2 and later
that made it impossible to base your local work on anything but a
local branch of the upstream repository you are tracking from.

* jh/checkout-auto-tracking:
  t3200: fix failure on case-insensitive filesystems
  branch.c: Relax unnecessary requirement on upstream's remote ref name
  t3200: Add test demonstrating minor regression in 41c21f2
  Refer to branch.<name>.remote/merge when documenting --track
  t3200: Minor fix when preparing for tracking failure
  t2024: Fix &&-chaining and a couple of typos

 When a local branch is started off a remote-tracking branch, Git sets up the

+configuration entries) so that 'git pull' will appropriately merge from
 the remote-tracking branch. This behavior may be changed via the global
 `branch.autosetupmerge` configuration flag. That setting can be
 overridden by using the `--track` and `--no-track` options, and
