[PATCH v2] branch: die when setting branch as own upstream

[Brian Gesiak <modocache@gmail.com>]

From: modocache <modocache@gmail.com>

Branch set as own upstream using one of the following commands returns
immediately with an exit code of 0:

- `git branch --set-upstream-to foo refs/heads/foo`
- `git branch --force --track foo foo`

Since neither of these actions currently set the upstream, an exit code
of 0 is misleading. Instead, exit with a status code indicating failure
by using the die function.
