To setup remote tracking of the branch stable/v1.0
git checkout with --track option can be used:
git checkout -b stable/v1.0 --track origin/stable/v1.0
Otherwise when git checkout -b stable/v1.0 is used
branch may not be properly set up to track it's remote counterpart
(given git option) and users may be confused due to no files present
in the folder, but README.

That is mostly what I asked for. "Newer" git will accept
git checkout stable/v1.0
go for the remote branch and track. But the long version is fine, too.
You could maybe add a
git branch -r
to get an overview of the available remote branches. This is probably
helpful for someone not familiar with git.
