当使用git进行操作：
git checkout -b local-name origin/remote-name
出现错误：
fatal: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches.
Did you intend to checkout ‘origin/remote-name‘ which can not be resolved as commit?
解决办法：
git remote show origin
git remote update
git fetch
git checkout -b local-name origin/remote-name
