And it doesn't add --track to the UI.

That's not a positive...

Oh, that is definitely a *HUGE* plus.  I wouldn't go so far as to say that
the word --track was a mistake.  But the thing is, unfortunately it has
already been contaminated by people using it in two completely different
ways and ended up confusing new people.  Some use it to mean "this branch
forked off of and builds on top of", and others use it to mean "this ref
holds a copy for reference purposes".
