We would need an official terminology for it.
Following was mentioned earlier in this thread ... could we use that?
tracking branch:
ref always points at a commit from the remote repo branch
following branch:
ref either points at a commit from the remote repo branch, or a
local commit with a commit from the remote repo branch in the history
perhaps?
An auto-merging branch? The term is somewhat more technical so that
people are less likely to think it just a colloquial alternative
expression for "tracking".
Personally I don't like auto-merging as it doesn't have any connotations
of _what_ is auto-merged ... and it's not really an automatic merge
anyway, you have to ask for it (by running pull).
