Oh, this is great! (Just tested.) Usually (in my use case) there is no need to pull before I set up a tracking branch, so I never tried this. And git only reminds you if you have no tracking branch set for srv yet. But that's no problem, because if one is set I can copy&paste the lines in .git/config.
