title: GitPython create local branch from remote branch
body: <p>I have multiple lab machines and I need to make a copy of my remote branch on my local lab machine.  I believe the git bash command for this is: </p>
  
  <p>git checkout -b mybranch origin/mybranch </p>
  
  <p>How do I do the equivalent in GitPython?</p>
  
  <p>I may make changes and push the changes back to origin/mybranch and then pull the changes back on to other lab machines.</p>
