From: Don Zickus <dzickus@xxxxxxxxxx> Use upstream/master for merge-base with fallback to master In Makefile.common there is logic that determines what the merge-base is and is used to generate changelogs correctly. The logic assumes a 'master' branch exists and is up to date. However, the documentation recommends using 'upstream/master' to keep everything up to date. Let's sync the documentation and code and use upstream/master if it exists otherwise, use 'master' as the fallback. If neither exists error out. The 'error' out solves another problem when a master branch is not defined not is 'upstream' used as recommended.
