git.PlainClone() doesn't set tracking for local branches

[boogie-byte]

Here is my code:

co := &git.CloneOptions{URL: urlToRepo}
_, err := git.PlainClone(dir, false, co)
if err != nil {
	fmt.Println(err)
} else {
	fmt.Println("done")
}

After cloning a repo using git.PlainClone(), I expected that local repo has tracking set for all fetched branches (as git clone would normally do). However, it looks like this is not the case:

$ git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name @{u}
fatal: no upstream configured for branch 'master'

Is this an expected behavior? Am I doing something wrong?

You aren't doing anything wrong @boogie-byte. It just isn't currently implemented.

This is a duplicate of #313

It is also related to #600 (a.k.a lack of support in config module for upstream branch information)
