git checkout tag, git pull fails in branch

Question

I have cloned a git repository and then checked out a tag:

# git checkout 2.4.33 -b my_branch

This is OK, but when I try to run git pull<

If like me you need to do this all the time, you can set up an alias to do it automatically by adding the following to your .gitconfig file:

[alias]
    set-upstream = !git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/`git symbolic-ref --short HEAD`

When you see the message There is no tracking information..., just run git set-upstream, then git push again.
