I guess I'm still rather confused. What exactly is the difference between creating your upstream mirror (and I'm not at all sure that I'm not implying something that I don't mean by using that word) as a bound branch or as a checkout. I use the checkout and I'm pretty comfortable with what it does and how it works, but I keep hearing about mirror branches and bound branches and suspect that I'm missing a useful technique here.
