Note that in your original advice, foo and bar can be different, and
it's not clear to me what "-b bar" should do...
Personally I frequently use foo == bar (no local master branch), but I
think another common pattern is foo != bar, but foo or bar == "master".
Maybe a syntax similar to push, like "-b LOCAL_BR:REMOTE_BR",
with "-b BR" being shorthand for "-b BR:BR"?
