I, and it appears other people, want to make this association at push-time -- that's almost always when I make the decision "I'd like to track this" -- so the most convenient and intuitive thing would be to have a --track option to push. Of course there could _also_ be some sort of branch sub-command (or another command) to setup or change tracking state without pushing. But "push --track" is more important for normal usage I think. -miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
