Merge branch 'cn/branch-set-upstream-to'

gitster · gitster · commit 83ce1764496d · 2012-09-10T15:43:07.000-07:00
"git branch --set-upstream origin/master" is a common mistake to
create a local branch 'origin/master' and set it to integrate with
the current branch.  With a plan to deprecate this option, introduce
"git branch (-u|--set-upstream-to) origin/master" that sets the
current branch to integrate with 'origin/master' remote tracking
branch.

* cn/branch-set-upstream-to:
  branch: deprecate --set-upstream and show help if we detect possible mistaken use
  branch: add --unset-upstream option
  branch: introduce --set-upstream-to
