Also it would be nice if you guys can fight it out about the
default value for 'tracked'.  I do not think _I_ can defend the
position to create these tracking configurations by default to
old timers (especially the ones that do not follow the git
mailing list), as I am not convinced (not yet, anyway).

I agree with Dscho wrt the default, partly because I don't
care as long as I can change it, partly because the learning
curve curve can never be shallow enough and the less
surprises the better.
The oldtimers will have no problems changing the default,
and the option is properly documented in the patch.
