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?
I can see why that would be handy, but I often make short lived branches off a
remote; and I wouldn't want my config cluttered up with branch defintions.
So, is there a reason why the config not could be cleared out by branch -d?
(The "is there a reason" has the same meaning: it seems obvious to me,
but I surely miss a lot of usecases because of inexperience).
