+\fIgit new\-branch\fR \-\-upstream_current <branch_name> |

+.SH "DESCRIPTION" |
+.sp |
+Creates a new branch\&. By default the new branch will track the configured upstream for the repo (defaults to \fIorigin/master\fR)\&. If one of the other options is specified, it will track that other ref instead\&. |
+.sp |
+Conceptually, each branch in your repo represents one \fIChange List (CL)\fR\&. If you have many independent CLs (i\&.e\&. the changes in one do not interact with/depend on the changes in another), then you should create them as new branches tracking the default upstream (i\&.e\&. git new\-branch <branch_name>)\&. If you have features which depend on each other, you should create stacked branches using git new\-branch \-\-upstream_current <branch_name>\&. |
+.SH "OPTIONS" |
+.PP |
+\-\-upstream_current |
+.RS 4 |
+Set the tracking (upstream) branch to the currently\-checked\-out branch\&. |
+.RE |
+.PP |
+\-\-uptstream <REF> |
+.RS 4 |
+Set the tracking (upstream) branch to <REF>\&. <REF> may be a local branch, remote branch, or a tag\&. |
+.RE |
+.PP |
+\-\-lkgr |
+.RS 4 |
+Alias for |
+\-\-upstream lkgr\&. |
+.RE |
+.PP |
+<branch_name> |
+.RS 4 |
+The name for the new branch\&. |
+.RE |
+.SH "CONFIGURATION VARIABLES" |
+.SS "depot\-tools\&.upstream" |
+.sp |
+This configures the default \fIupstream\fR for all new branches\&. If it is unset, it defaults to \fIorigin/master\fR\&. This is considered to be the \fIroot\fR branch\&. |
