Other than that, your rewrite is more readable than the original. The error_on_missing_default_upstream helper function learned to take op_prep argument with 15a147e618 ("rebase: use @{upstream} if no upstream specified", 2011-02-09), but as of 045fac5845 ("i18n: git-parse-remote.sh: mark strings for translation", 2016-04-19), the argument no longer is used.

I agree with you that we should leave it as-is.
