There are times when e.g. scripts want to know not only the name of the
upstream branch on the remote repository, but also the name of the
remote.
This patch offers the new suffix :remotename for the upstream and for
the push atoms, allowing to show exactly that. Example:
...
$ git for-each-ref \
--format='%(upstream) %(upstream:remote) %(push:remote)' \
refs/heads/master
refs/remotes/origin/master origin hello-world
While doing the regular re-review of the topics in flight, I noticed
that there are two references to :remote here that should be :remotename,
so I tweaked them locally and pushed the result out as part of 'pu'.
Thanks.
