Re: git merge man page, upstream

Hi Matthiew,

man pages should be clear, and easy to read. "Remote" usually means
"another repository"
(git glossary), and also in natural language conveys the notion of
something far away.
Internally, it can be handled as a special case of url, of course.
My suggestion is to be consistent with the git glossary, that defines
"upstream branch" as: "The default branch that is merged into the
branch in question", which is exactly what that paragraph of the
git-merge man page is describing.
