No, I don't think there is a reason to prefer one over the other these
days. When the instance in git-parse-remote was written (e9460a6,
2009-06-12) @{upstream} did not yet exist (it came in 28fb843,
2009-09-10). So for-each-ref was the only way to get the informationa
I would use whichever one seems clearer in your context.
