I tried looking for a an answer to this, but couldn't find any which address this specific need. Which is weird.

I want to be able to do the following:

  1. create a local branch based on some other (remote or local) branch (via git branch or git checkout -b)
  2. push the local branch to remote repo (publish), but make it trackable so git pull and git push will work immediately.

How do I do that?

EDIT: I know about --set-upstream in git 1.7, but that is a post-creation action. i want to find a way to make a similar change when pushing the branch to the remote repo.
