Re: [PATCH] Allow local branching to set up rebase by default.

Change cd67e4d4 introduced a new configuration parameter that told
 pull to automatically perform a rebase instead of a merge.  I use this
 feature quite a bit in topic branches and would like it to be the
 default behavior for a topic branch.

 If the parameter branch.autosetuprebase applies for a branch that's
 being created, that branch will have branch.<name>.rebase set to true.

 See the documentation for how this may be applied.

I've had this change parked in one of my branches forever. Consider
this a UI suggestion to go with the new config option?

    [WIP] new --rebase option to set branch.*.rebase for new branches

    Add a --rebase option to git-branch and git-checkout. If given, it
    implies --track but additionally sets branch.<newbranch>.rebase to true.

    [NOTE TO SELF: this is based off the old next branch, and also it sitting on
    top of my old --track changes, so it will need to be reworked.]
