Any bash scripting help is welcome ;-)

The branch is named 2.0 locally:
git checkout -b 2.0 -t origin/development/2.0
but it can have any name. The "-t" shouldnt be needed with newer git. The 
important part is that the local branch 2.0 tracks origin/development/2.0 (see 
git remote show origin) so that a 
git push (equivalent: git push origin)
pushes to the tracking branch.
Note: 
git push origin 2.0 (equivalent: git push origin 2.0:2.0)
will create, as I assume, a new remote branch 2.0.
