This mini series makes local branches behave the same as remote ones when they are used as --tracked branches. This means differences are reported by git status and git checkout, and also that the soon to be released tracking branch short cut (aka BEL) will work. v2 adds a more detailed commit message to 2/2 and fixes up formatting. Also, the simplification of remote refs is now unchanged, and local refs are simplified in the same way. This may lead to ambiguous refs just like before this series. Unique simplification (which several places may benefit from) is left for a future series.
