Presumably the push --track option would be used with an explicit branch
name given to push anyway, right?  Then it can use that info to set up
the tracking flexibly (and with sane defaults).

E.g.,, simple case:

    git push --track SOME_REMOTE BRANCH_NAME

complex case:

    git push --track SOME_REMOTE MY-BRANCH:REMOTE-BRANCH
