I very often create local branches and only later decide that I'd also
like to push them to a remote -- but just as often, or more often, I
never do so.  It would be extremely annoying if I had to make that
decision at branch-time.

I'm not saying that the feature should belong to git-branch and so you
have to make this decision at branch time - I'm saying that since this
has got to do with modifying branches (sort of), it should be in
there.

I, and it appears other people, want to make this association at
push-time -- that's almost always when I make the decision "I'd like
to track this" -- so the most convenient and intuitive thing would be
to have a --track option to push.

Of course there could _also_ be some sort of branch sub-command (or
another command) to setup or change tracking state without pushing.
But "push --track" is more important for normal usage I think.
