The example command currently is "git branch --set-upstream master origin/master", however the --set-upstream option is deprecated:

$git branch --set-upstream master origin/master
The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using --track or --set-upstream-to
Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin.
$

Referring to the "empty git repo" instructions.

    Looks like we actually need to drop the local branch name for the new version of this command. E.g. git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master otherwise you get an error.

    I propose to update it as :

    git push -u origin master

    instead of:

    git push origin master
git branch --set-upstream-to master origin/master  # so 'git pull' will work later

    Refer to: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/ANNOUNCE-Git-v1-8-0-rc1-tc7568792.html

     * It was tempting to say "git branch --set-upstream origin/master", 
   but that tells Git to arrange the local branch "origin/master" to 
   integrate with the currently checked out branch, which is highly 
   unlikely what the user meant.  The option is deprecated; use the 
   new "--set-upstream-to" (with a short-and-sweet "-u") option 
   instead.
