Introduce remote_ref_atom_parser() which will parse the '%(upstream)'
and '%(push)' atoms and store information into the 'used_atom'
structure based on the modifiers used along with the corresponding
atom.

Are 'shorten', 'track', and 'trackshort' mutually exclusive? If so, a
simple enum would be clearer than bitfields:

    union {
        const char *color;
        struct align align;
        enum { RR_PLAIN, RR_SHORTEN, RR_TRACK, RR_TRACKSHORT }
            remote_ref;
    };

Or something.

There's also a slight problem with using enum's with the current implementation.
The problem is the enum is set to 0 by default (since we use memset).
so the first value is set by default, not something we'd want.

I'm afraid I don't see the problem. Doesn't the RR_PLAIN in the
example cover this case?

So either we stick to the structure
with unsigned bits or we introduce a pseudo value in the enum. I
prefer the former.

It's not a pseudo-value, but rather just one of the mutually exclusive states.
