It is better than saying nothing, but the reader will be left
wondering what happens when "upstream branch" is configured with the
above text.
When no remote is specified, by default the `origin` remote will
be used, unless there's an upstream branch configured for the
current branch, in which case the `fetch` goes to the remote the
specified upstream remote-tracking branch is taken from.
or something, perhaps?
