Extremely useful. I usually keep local branches closely synchronized with a remote "central" version, and tracking branches make the frequent push/pull much more convenient. I often delete the default local "master" branch though, and have only one local branch per working directory (and like you, use origin/... for much interbranch synchronization, e.g. rebasing). -Miles -- "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."
