I think this whole function should be moved to to branch.c to be usable across "git checkout -b", "git branch" and "git clone", and make the two existing callers in builtin-clone.c and setup_tracking() in branch.c call it. "git checkout -b" already shares the same codepath with "git branch", and you would allow "git clone" to be in the family. That would help supporting new tracking options without having to maintain more than one copy of the code.
