That's a pretty advanced command for a beginner.  I have
people who're only using the GUI (in the presumption that it
will be less confusing or less powerful or whatever) and
have managed to right click on a remote branch, choose
"checkout this branch" and have made commits on it without
knowing they're not on any branch!

I wish I had your problem :-)
