Automagically doing 'git checkout -t remote/branch' when asked to do 'git checkout remote/branch' was suggested earlier on the list and I think there was even a patch that implemented it, not sure what the outcome of the series was. I do remember that Peff was annoyed by it at the GitTogether though so it might be a bad idea.
