A grit cloned repo does not have tracking setup by default

[koden-km]

When i tried to git pull on a freshly grit clone'ed repo i get the git message about no tracking setup.

$ grit clone --golang jmalloc/grit
~/go/src/github.com/jmalloc/grit

$ cd ~/go/src/github.com/jmalloc/grit

jmalloc/grit master $ git pull
There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Please specify which branch you want to merge with.
See git-pull(1) for details.

    git pull <remote> <branch>

If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:

    git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/<branch> master

jmalloc/grit master $ git remote -v
origin	git@github.com:jmalloc/grit.git (fetch)
origin	git@github.com:jmalloc/grit.git (push)

I think my fancy Git aliases prevented me from noticing this, because I always do -u on push

This is the difference between the local config with Grit performing the clone, vs with Git:

I'm not sure how to do this programatically with the Git library yet.

I've created src-d/go-git#313 to find out how to go about this.

For the time being I just write to the config file manually. I'll leave this open awaiting a "better" solution using the go-git lib.

Eh, this works fine.
