I'm hesitant to pick this up because of what is said in this paragraph. When you write "(master|main|trunk)", I think you're really spelling "HEAD". And it's fine to write HEAD in a script when you want to resolve something to master/main/trunk/etc. without caring which and instead delegating that to whatever the remote HEAD is. But determining the upstream of a branch is already easy to do as Peff points out downthread. So this seems like a band-aid for scripts that do not care to perform such a resolution themselves.
