OK, that makes sense in the context of 
<https://git-scm.com/docs/git-checkout#_description>,

>> … exist a tracking branch in exactly one remote … with a matching name …

Then 
<https://git-scm.com/docs/git-branch#Documentation/git-branch.txt--v>, I 
can see the name of the fork:

git -C /usr/src branch -vv

Nowadays, when creating a branch in GitHub I get the hint to have the 
name of my fork as the prefix- to the name. I don't know whether this is 
a native feature, or thanks to refined-github.

Thanks for the condensed examples. Very helpful.

FreeBSD-specific. Experiences in Git-specific areas haven't been good, 
for me.)
