[PATCH] branch: add -u as a shortcut for --set-upstream

From: Carlos Martín Nieto <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:54:13
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Add this shortcut just like git-push has it.

I've seen threads commenting how it's odd that this doesn't exist[0],
but nobody seems to have done anything about it yet.

This may need some updates to the shell completions, but I've no idea
how those work and I'd rather not change things randomly.
