I found myself thinking the same thing. It's really convenient being able to set your topic branch's upstream to another local branch, so git rebase works without parameters. But then I can't use upstream to point to a remote version of that topic branch. I want my topic branch to know both that it's based on master (or origin/master), and that it's upstream is origin/topic.

So, yes, here's a vote in favour of the general concept.
