OK, so tracking is set up by default in the current implementation of "git worktree" (even without your proposed update), but we will stop doing so, and instead take an explicit "--track" option (or "--no-track" to countermand an earlier "--track" on the command line and/or a default configured with branch.autosetupmerge) just like "git branch" does?

I think that it is very sensible thing to make sure that "branch", "checkout -b" and "worktree", i.e. the three ways to create a branch to work on (the latter two being short-hands), behave consistently.

Thanks.
