+
+If the branch does not exist,
+dgit checkout creates it,
+and sets it up the same way as dgit clone would.
+In that case, if
+the archive remote tracking branch does not exist,
+dgit checkout will do a dgit fetch first.
+
+NB: dgit checkout will only do a fetch if it has to.
+If you already have the suite branch,
+and want to merge your branch with updates from the archive,
+use dgit pull.
+
+dgit checkout will normally need to aceess the archive server,
+to canonicalise the provided suite name.
+The exception is if you specify the canonical name,
+and the branch (or tracking branch) already exists.
