Actually, I did the easy part ;-) (easy grep-able patterns, and uncontroversal solution).

There's still a mess about the "upstream/downstream" Vs "remote-tracking" terminology, both in the UI (--track options here and there) and the doc.

And I'd really like the "index/cache/stage" thing to be fixed too. I like "stage/staging area" best, but it seems this part does not make a consensus (yet?).

I'm just hoping I gave the right example and someone else will now take care of these two ;-).
