In one of my scripts I do something like this (actually this is not
straight from my script, as the operation there is "find all pairs of
local/remote branches" and this is "find the current upstream"):
ref=`git symbolic-ref HEAD`
head=${ref#refs/heads/}
remote=`git config branch.$head.remote`
branch=`git config branch.$head.merge`
echo refs/remote/$remote/${branch#refs/heads/}
And obviously this is missing error checking for the detached HEAD
(symbolic-ref should fail) and no tracking branch ($remote and/or $branch
will be empty) cases.
