defaults for where to merge from

As can be seen from my other messages, I'm experimenting a little with git and trying to understand how its workflow compares with arch. Right now, my procedure for branching off a remote archive is:

  git checkout -b branchname remote/upstreambranch
  git config --add branch.branchname.remote remote
  git config --add branch.branchname.merge refs/heads/upstreambranch

Is there a reason why "git branch" and "git checkout -b" should not automatically do the two "git-config --add"s when the source branch is remote?

In case the source branch is not remote, would "origin" be a good choice for the "branch.branchname.remote" variable?
