Nonetheless, "push --track" is by far the most natural UI for the most common case, I think. > And it doesn't add --track to the UI. That's not a positive... None of this is _necessary_, it's to make git more convenient. Halfway-measures seem like "oh the user can just use this branch command" seem like, well, halfway measures. Sure, it would be nice to have a branch command _too_, just to make it easier for branch maintenance, but it's not what's really wanted. -Miles -- Faith, n.
