Hi,

I'd like a feature to automatically "transform" a non-tracking local
branch into a tracking branch on push. A patch to do that is
attached.

The patches should be sent inline, together with commit messages
(unless you are asked to resend as attachment because of whitespace
mangling). Attached patches are very hard to comment on.

Are there any chances for this getting added to official git - or an
alternate convenient way convert a local to a tracking branch?

This is missing sign-off. It can't be included without it.

Also couple comments:

- Some lines look way too long (~160 chars, should be max 80 unles
it would linebreak error message).
- Should the tracking be set up even if only part of ref update suceeded
(for those that succeeded), not requiring all to succeed?
- Is --track the best name for this?
