[PATCH] Add support for merging from upstream by default.

[Jared Hance <jaredhance@gmail.com>]

Adds the option merge.defaultupstream to add support for merging from the
upstream branch by default. The upstream branch is found using
branch.[name].upstream.

I checked it this time, it really is the right usage.
