If Carl is also happy with the syntax, we can conclude this

 (1) have that as an enhancement to git-clone;

 (2) add a how-to document or a section to the manual to teach
     people how to track one or more branches, based on the
     messages already posted on this thread.

Note that we almost have the tutorials for the "two very simple cases"
that Linus identifies:

	- case #1, the "anonymous CVS" replacement: chapter 2 of
	  user-manual.txt (the first chapter after the quick start) covers
	  this.  Perhaps in greater generality than necessary, and maybe
	  detached heads and/or --track should be mentioned earlier.

	- tutorial.txt, the "how to start tracking your own project"
	  case, starts with git-init, git-add, etc.

One problem is that it's not immediately obvious which one to look at
for each case.
