Subject: [PATCH] Make git-clone respect branch.autosetuprebase
Message-ID: <1236105352-21335-1-git-send-email-pknotz@sandia.gov>

```
From: Pat Notz <pknotz@sandia.gov>

When git-clone creates an initial branch it was not
checking the branch.autosetuprebase configuration
option (which may exist in ~/.gitconfig).

I think this whole function should be moved to to branch.c to be usable
across "git checkout -b", "git branch" and "git clone", and make the two
existing callers in builtin-clone.c and setup_tracking() in branch.c call
it.  "git checkout -b" already shares the same codepath with "git branch",
and you would allow "git clone" to be in the family.  That would help
supporting new tracking options without having to maintain more than one
copy of the code.
