Not just argument-less git pull. git status is also impacted for
example. Actually, we already have documentation for it in git-branch
(--track option), and git-config (branch.<name>.merge configuration
variable), so you should add a pointer to one of them.
How about
--set-upstream::
For every branch that is up to date or successfully pushed, add
upstream (tracking) reference, used by argument-less
linkgit:git-pull[1] and other commands. For more information,
see 'branch.<name>.merge' in linkgit:git-config[1].

I'd be in favor of --track for the option name. Not that it's the best
name ever, but this is really doing the same job as branch --track and
checkout --track, so it should have the same name.
Or the --track option of branch and checkout should be renamed as
--set-upstream, but that seems a lot of trouble for little benefit.
