Create branch on origin and track it locally

Script for creating tracking branches on origin

The script attempts to be agnostic to both git version and gitconfig settings.

To mimic the script in a git alias, run the following command:

git config -g alias.mkbranch '!foo() { git fetch origin && git checkout -b "$1" "${2:-origin/master}" && git push -u origin "$1":"$1"; }; foo'

Easily visualise Git merge.conflictstyle diff3 with meld, while preserving all information
[merge]
conflictstyle = diff3
tool = three_meld
[mergetool "three_meld"]
# Opens up four diff windows:
# LOCAL:MERGED, BASE:LOCAL, BASE:REMOTE, LOCAL:REMOTE
#
# Lets you edit the MERGED file (including original diff3 markers), showing
# you the final diff from LOCAL. For reference, you can look in the other
# windows to see how LOCAL and REMOTE are each different from BASE, as well

what=$1
