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 :-)
