Add the --set-upstream option to git pull/fetch
which lets the user set the upstream configuration
(branch.<current-branch-name>.merge and
branch.<current-branch-name>.remote) for the current branch.
A typical use-case is:
git clone http://example.com/my-public-fork
git remote add main http://example.com/project-main-repo
git pull --set-upstream main master
or, instead of the last line:
git fetch --set-upstream main master
git merge # or git rebase
This is mostly equivalent to cloning project-main-repo (which sets
upsteam) and then "git remote add" my-public-fork, but may feel more
natural for people using a hosting system which allows forking from
the web UI.
This functionality is analog to "git push --set-upstream".
