As I said, I personally am not interested in such a mode, but you may be able to interest other people in it, and with wider support I may change my mind. But I do not think the feature should not be tied to "--force" option at all. "git branch A B C X" should be able to create three new branches A B C that all tracks X if none of them exist without "--force".
