Having both --track and --no-track options is a nice touch to
give scripts dependable behaviour. Well done.

I am going to bed now, but I would appreciate if the list could
help Paolo:
(1) with styles. I have only given a cursory look at the
patch, but I think people already know what I like and not
like.
(2) by reviewing the changes to the .config writer. That
traditionally has been one of the more fragile parts of the
system, and I am reluctant to look at it.
(3) come up with a version that is easier-to-apply (including
sending an in-line patch).
I would just feel better to see a patch like this, which is a
significant improvement to the system, to be properly signed-off
by the submitter.
Also it would be nice if you guys can fight it out about the
default value for 'tracked'. I do not think _I_ can defend the
position to create these tracking configurations by default to
old timers (especially the ones that do not follow the git
mailing list), as I am not convinced (not yet, anyway).
