This is why I suggest: since it is an itch of yours, just fix it.  You are 
in the prime position to know when you're satisfied.

As a hint how to start: Junio dreamt of a git-clone which is a tiny 
wrapper around git-fetch and git-remote.

So you could start by writing a script which would be a replacement for 
git-clone.sh, and there you can also include the support for -b that you 
would like so much.

It would be nice, though, to keep this in separate patches, which you then 
submit to this list.

Thank you,
Dscho
