[RFC/PATCH] git-branch: default to --track

"git branch --track" will setup config variables when branching from a remote branch, so that if you say "git pull" while being on that branch, it automatically fetches the correct remote, and merges the correct branch.

Often people complain that this is not the default for "git branch". Make it so.

	With 1.5.3 knocking at the door, maybe it is too late to include
	this. However, I am in favour of changing the default behaviour
	here.
