    This reverts commit ba83229a.
    
    Reason for revert: After mail discussion we came to the conclusion that the old behavior makes more sense.
    
    Original change's description:
    > Fix semantics of git new-branch --upstream
    > 
    > Currently, the "--upstream A" option for new-branch behaves totally
    > different than "--upstream_current". While "--upstream A" checks out
    > branch A and then creates a new branch which tracks A,
    > "--upstream_current" creates a new branch for the current HEAD and sets
    > the upstream to the previously checked out branch.
    > 
    > As the documentation does not mention that any of the options changes
    > the currently-checked-out commit (HEAD), this CL changes the semantics
    > of "git new-branch --upstream A B" to be identical to "git checkout -b B
    > && git branch --set-upstream-to A".
    > 
    > It also slightly extends the documentation to mention that in any case
    > the new branch is based on HEAD.
