itself as the upstream; `--track=inherit` means to copy the upstream
configuration of the start-point branch.
+
-`--track=direct` is the default when the start point is a remote-tracking branch.
-Set the branch.autoSetupMerge configuration variable to `false` if you
-want `git switch`, `git checkout` and `git branch` to always behave as if `--no-track`
-were given. Set it to `always` if you want this behavior when the
-start-point is either a local or remote-tracking branch. Set it to
-`inherit` if you want to copy the tracking configuration from the
-branch point.
+The branch.autoSetupMerge configuration variable specifies how `git switch`,
+`git checkout` and `git branch` should behave when neither `--track` nor
+`--no-track` are specified:
++
+The default option, `true`, behaves as though `--track=direct`
+were given whenever the start-point is a remote-tracking branch.
+`false` behaves as if `--no-track` were given. `always` behaves as though
+`--track=direct` were given. `inherit` behaves as though `--track=inherit`
+were given. `simple` behaves as though `--track=direct` were given only when
+the start-point is a remote-tracking branch and the new branch has the same
+name as the remote branch.
+
See linkgit:git-pull[1] and linkgit:git-config[1] for additional discussion on
how the `branch.<name>.remote` and `branch.<name>.merge` options are used.
