This and other examples in "making remote tracking branches less
visible" are hard to read because I used the word "origin" in
two different sense. So here is a needed clarification.
If you have remotes/upstream that says:
URL: git://git.xz/repo.git
Pull: refs/heads/master:remotes/origin/master
Pull: refs/heads/next:remotes/origin/next
Then, currently the users need to say:
git diff remotes/origin/master
git merge remotes/origin/next
By "making tracking branches less visible", what I mean is to
let the users say this instead:
git diff upstream
git merge upstream#next
