Nonetheless, "push --track" is by far the most natural UI for the most
common case, I think.

That's not a positive...

None of this is _necessary_, it's to make git more convenient.

Halfway-measures seem like "oh the user can just use this branch
command" seem like, well, halfway measures.  Sure, it would be nice to
have a branch command _too_, just to make it easier for branch
maintenance, but it's not what's really wanted.
