Can someone help me with this please or at least put me out of my misery? :-)

Over on another thread I found a config variable called gui.matchtrackingbranch, but setting that to true only saved me a mouse click -- it didn't really create the tracking, as seen by "git remote show origin".

Thanks,

Sitaram
