It checkouts the branch named integration in the remote git repo, instead 
of the default (which could be anything, but usually called master).  I 
didn't realize... that option must have been added "recently".

not at all... walt explained this, you can "git checkout origin/
integration" to see what that looks like (you may have to do a "git fetch" 
before to "sync" up your copy of the repository to the remote).  You can 
see the remote branches you have with "git branch -r".

Developers using git tend to use lots of branches and then throw them 
away.  You just kind of have to follow along and see where the commits are 
happening, which I leave as an exercise to the reader as the thread is 
going offtopic. :)
