I was already clear on that - I had set upstream=u-boot - Note the error
message:

fatal: Needed a single revision
invalid upstream u-boot/master
                 ^^^^^^
I think the problem is at:

git fetch git://git.denx.de/${upstream}.git

Where are we actually pulling the upstream tree into?

No my repo is at ~/Source/U-Boot/x86/ and I have uboot and master branches
there (as per previous wiki instructions) so I tried:

git checkout uboot
git fetch git://git.denx.de/${upstream}.git
git checkout master
git rebase ${upstream}/master

But that is not right - I would normally rebase to uboot

I think there is a missing link here somewhere
