[PATCH 1/6] builtin rebase: optionally auto-detect the upstream

From
Pratik Karki <predatoramigo@gmail.com>

Message-ID
<20180808153635.19944-2-predatoramigo@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<20180808153635.19944-1-predatoramigo@gmail.com>

The `git rebase` command, when called without the `<upstream>` command-line argument, automatically looks for the upstream branch configured for the current branch.

With this commit, the builtin rebase learned that trick, too.
