Better default 'into' branch

[markalfred]

Instead of defaulting to origin/master, default to local master's upstream branch. In 99.9% of cases, this will be master. Sometimes, though, a user might want to set their local master to some faux-master topic branch.

git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name "master@{u}"

will return origin/master.

After thinking it over more and talking with @markalfred I don't know if this is really the best way to do this. If you have a less-than-normal setup where you have a local branch tracking a remote branch of a different name why should we even assume that your local one happens to be called master?

There is no requirement a branch named master appear anywhere locally or on a remote. You could have local branch foobar tracking remove branch staging for all git cares so I don't know if adding this type of option is correct.

I'm more inclined to have pullr check for a local .pullr configuration file that will allow users to set default pullr options on a per-repo basis. This follows the same setup a lot of tools uses for local configuration settings and since we already support an --into <branch> parameter flag, users could easily just add --into foobar in their .pullr configuration file and that would be used as a default for each pullr command unless the user overrides it on the specific command string.

Thoughts?

yep a .pullr file would be handy for these kind of complex setups

However pullr at its core is meant to me a simple tool and a few chars to open a PR, adding this new complexity is good, but does raise the question of should we limit what we want to support?

Just some thoughts.

Yeah, good point. I don't know that this is really adding any new features tho, its just saving the user some keystrokes on already existing flags available in the tool. This will allow people with "non-standard" repo setups to type even fewer chars to open a PR than having to use the --into or --into-remote flags each time.
