Okay, our emails criss-crossed. I agree with that, but my other email
proposes adding -u <name> with correct behavior and just deprecating
--set-upstream. I suppose we could instead (or in addition) just fix
--set-upstream.

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

['cause the way "--set-upstream" works with "git push" is perfect, and
shouldn't be changed...]

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.
