BTW, you're just talking about "git branch", right?

['cause the way "--set-upstream" works with "git push" is perfect, and

I was talking about git-branch and git-checkout. I didn't realize
git-push even had --set-upstream. Interestingly, -u is an alias for
--set-upstream with git-push, but not with git-branch.
