creating tracking branches with git gui

Hello,

Using git gui to create tracking branches only creates the local branch, but does not establish tracking. Using the command "git branch newbr origin/newbr" works as expected of course.

I clicked on "Branch", then "Create", chose the "Match Tracking Branch Name" radio button, chose the appropriate branch (origin/newbr) in the list below, then finally hit Create at the bottom right.

I can write up a more detailed note if required but I thought I'd ask if this was a bug in my understanding first :-)

Thanks,

Sitaram
