Is local mtree branch supposed to track master?

From the above commands, I don't see why it should. Local branch jh tracks origin/jh/mtree, not master. So why would a master change suddenly appear in the jh branch? I would expect changes you push to origin/jh/mtree to appear in your local jh branch after a pull, nothing else.
if jh/mtree tracks master (as it according to the wiki page is supposed to do) and when jh tracks remote branch jh/mtree, then according to normal logic it follows that also jh tracks master.
