Should this be "upstream remote" rather than "upstream branch"? I don't
think we should be looking at branch.*.merge at all for git-fetch.
As a general user, how do I configure the "upstream remote"?
Yeah, it's not a term we use elsewhere, so it's not great. Probably
"default remote" would be better, or even just say "branch.*.remote for
the current branch" or something.

I dunno. I don't particularly like any of those, but I really dislike
the imprecision of "upstream branch" in this case.
