So here's a scenario I'm in right now. A user of my software reported a

a new branch "proposed-fix" that I'd like the user to test.

Actually it is the same "problem" as when you want to work on the
non-HEAD remote branch.

Currently I do (with current git):

git clone git://...
git checkout -b ${branch} origin/${branch}
git config branch.${branch}.merge refs/heads/${branch}

then they could update this with just:

git pull

It would be nice if:

git clone -b ${branch} git://...

would be equivalent of the above three commands.
