Is it possible in git to configure a default <start-point> for the git-branch command?
For some workflows it could be useful to define e.g. a remote-tracking branch as the default <start-point> for new branches. Then there would be a tracking configuration for each created branch and tools like ALM tools could easily determine the remote repository.
For EGit-/JGit-development there is a proposal in Gerrit to add a new config parameter workflow.defaultsourceref (http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,4168). I suggested to use workflow.branchstartpoint instead.
What do you think about such a property?

Literally as you propose it's probably not going to happen. It would
break every script ever written that uses "git branch <foo>" to start
a new branch at the current commit.
