Um, I think of it as "rename <oldbranch> to <newbranch>" where
<oldbranch> defaults to the current branch (aka HEAD).

Wait, what? No it isn't. My proposal is add or remove tracking
information to <branch> where <branch> defaults to the current branch
(aka HEAD).

-u w/o --track/--no-track is a usage error.
