[PATCHv2 0/2] Make local branches behave like remote branches when --tracked

[Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net>]

This mini series makes local branches behave the same as remote ones
when they are used as --tracked branches. This means differences are
reported by git status and git checkout, and also that the soon to be
released tracking branch short cut (aka BEL) will work.

v2 adds a more detailed commit message to 2/2 and fixes up formatting.
Also, the simplification of remote refs is now unchanged, and local refs
are simplified in the same way. This may lead to ambiguous refs just
like before this series. Unique simplification (which several places may
benefit from) is left for a future series.
