LibGit2Sharp.Command.Checkout doesn't setup tracking to remote branch

[splatteredbits]

I expect the LibGit2Sharp.Commands.Checkout function to checkout and setup a local tracking branch for remote branch names.

Here's my PowerShell code:

$checkoutOptions = New-Object -TypeName 'LibGit2Sharp.CheckoutOptions'
[LibGit2Sharp.Commands]::Checkout($repo, 'develop', $checkoutOptions)

This fails with a NotFoundException:

NotFoundException: No valid git object identified by 'develop' exists in the repository.

I would expected checkout to behave like the git checkout command and create a local branch to track the remote branch.

If/until this functionality arrives, can we document how to setup a local tracking branch?

Though I'm not too familiar yet with the code base, I've begun looking into this. Is anyone else working on it? If not, I'll gladly keep on investigating.
