But I wonder, what is the right term for a branch that has the --track setup for pull? On #git I usually fall back to some variation of "a branch that is configured for 'git pull'" or something similarly verbose (and maybe that's even partially wrong/inaccurate/incomplete?). And I always try to stick to saying "remote tracking branch" and not just "tracking branch" (as the glossary does) to avoid confusion as best as I can. But that feels quite suboptimal. So, is there some term that describes a local branch that has been configured for "git pull"?
