Should be possible to connect to mydb/newBranch without creating that branch first.

The first command should work and just create the foo branch off HEAD of default branch.

Slight variation: should be possible to name a remote to automatically pull branches from on connection if they don't exist locally.

This is already the case for read replicas, but would be nice to support on normal clones as well.
