Thanks -- I appreciate it.

The tracking feature is very useful; even though I understand the
whole refspec syntax perfectly well I still use this feature.

And I'm trying to propagate git at my job and every bit helps.

Besides, it's a bit hard to explain to folks why the widgets are
called "Match Tracking Branch Name" and "Tracking Branch" but the
branch is not actually tracked :-)
