I don't think so. My use case is when I did a manual merge, so
@{upstream} is helpless or even not positionned. There is for sure an
accurate command (remember the branch I just merged and put it on the
command-line), but my fingers prefer typing quick and dirty commands and
hope I won't get too many trial and error cycles ;-).
