Re: creating tracking branches with git gui

["Sitaram Chamarty" <sitaramc@gmail.com>]

Can someone help me with this please or at least put me out of my misery? :-)

Over on another thread I found a config variable called
gui.matchtrackingbranch, but setting that to true only saved me a
mouse click -- it didn't really create the tracking, as seen by "git
remote show origin".

Thanks,

Sitaram
