Added git-upstream to easily add upstream repository

[jvtrigueros]

I thought that this shortcut might be useful to add to the list of extras. It is not very fancy, but it is something that I find myself doing every time I fork a repository.

Usage:

$ git upstream git://github.com/visionmedia/git-extras.git

I second it.
(but are pull requests noticed? this is quite from some time ago...)

[jvtrigueros]

Yeah, that's what it feels like. I think maybe git-extras is already set and they wont add any more features?

This seems to be duplicating git branch --set-upstream-to=<url>, correct me if I am wrong. If it is then this "extras" would be redundant.

I was hoping for a git upstream feature that would show you which branch the current branch is tracking. e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/171550/find-out-which-remote-branch-a-local-branch-is-tracking

Example usage:

(master)$ git upstream
origin/master
(master)$ git upstream feature
origin/feature

You bring a good point @chernjie, I'll make sure I don't duplicate functionality and if so, will try to implement what you suggested. Seems like that is a needed feature
