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.
