I deem this not an "important" bug.

We usually do not set up tracking information for local branches, and I 
still do not know valid common scenarios for that workflow.

But hey, if it really bothers you, and you can come up with a 
non-intrusive patch (i.e. a patch that does not punish all users that do 
_not_ set up locally-tracking branches), I am sure it will be welcomed.

Ciao,
Dscho
