Because when I "git checkout bla-stale-branch" to help a fellow
developer again, I have to remember to "git merge
origin/bla-stale-branch" to get a much needed fast-forward before
starting to work.

Perhaps it might make sense to have a checkout hook that notices
the branch that is being checked out is meant to build on top of
a corresponding remote tracking branch, and performs the
necessary fast-forward when that is the case.

Or just print a warning that there are new commits on the
tracked branch and leave the decision how to proceed to
the user?
