Hmm. The usual answer for requests like this is "make your own alias".
But usually they are for primary command aliases (e.g., "co" for
"checkout"), and this is a sub-command. So you are actually stuck doing:

  git config alias.rup "remote update"

which is maybe better (even less typing) but is not exactly what you
asked for.

I think even nicer than an explicit "up" alias would be to accept any
prefix as long as it was unique. However, I think a scheme like that
would only make sense if it was used fairly universally, and the current
code is not amenable to doing it for regular commands (it doesn't
actually have a complete list of commands -- it just tries to exec what
you tell it). However, it could be refactored to do so.
