git merge man page, upstream

Hello,

the git merge man page, OPTIONS, <commit> ... states:

   "If no commit is given from the command line, and if
merge.defaultToUpstream configuration variable is set, merge the
remote tracking branches that the current branch is configured to use
as its upstream. See also the configuration section of this manual
page."

Actually, in this case git merge merges the upstream branch, not the
remote tracking branch.

Proposed change:

   "If no commit is given from the command line, and if
merge.defaultToUpstream configuration variable is set, merge the
upstream branches that the current branch has currently configured.
See also the configuration section of this manual page."
