Hm, --rebasing sounds weird to me as well. Maybe --track=merge and
--track=rebase, with --track being equal to --track=merge?

That looks like the best wording so far, although I suspect that the  
true
reason why all of the above sounds confusing may be because the  
concept
itself is not clear.

That's why I suggested --auto-rebase, which is more verbose in what
it does. Perhaps we should add it as an optional flag for --track, like

   git branch --track --auto-rebase local remote/branch

? That is a bit long though.

I don't think "--track=rebase" makes a lot of sense, since "track" is
still a boolean in my head ;)
