Is that a message from something?  It does not sound like something
"git reset --hard" would say.

I think the message "Not tracking" is given when there is a remote
other than <aremote> that also has <abranch>.  Between the time you
got the message and the time you tried to checkout <abranch>, did
anything happen to cause the second attempt succeed?
