Oh, and I also always use the syntax:

   git push origin BRANCH_NAME

As the (apparent) objection adding "git push --track" was the question of what the behavior would be in the general case (where lots of branches can be pushed), maybe restricting "--track" to only specific cases would be a possible solution?
