Often, it is quite interesting to inspect the branch tracked by a
given branch.  This patch introduces a nice notation to get at the
tracked branch: '<branch>@{tracked}' can be used to access that
tracked branch.

A special shortcut '@{tracked}' refers to the branch tracked by the
current branch.

Sorry, I didn't know the name of the long form was up for discussion.
But it should certainly coincide with the key which for-each-ref
uses, shouldn't it? I don't care whether tracked or upstream, but
for-each-ref's "upstream" has set the precedent.

...and 'git branch --track' set an even earlier precedent...
