Re: change remote to track new branch

Hi Folks:

Yeah.  I had contemplated using the following commands:

    git config remote.wp.fetch \
        "+refs/heads/3.6-branch:refs/remotes/wp/3.6-branch"
    git config branch.wp.merge "refs/heads/3.6-branch"

So is "git remote set-branches" and "git branch --set-upstream-to" just
another syntax for making those same changes to git config?  Or do the
new commands do some additional work on the repository (to better keep
track of things, or whatever)?

Sorry to be a pest, but I'm curious what the answer is, please.

Thank you,
