As there is no @{pu} in publish_mark() as far as I can see, and also
I found it is a bit unclear what the example in the last paragraph
wants to illustrate, I'll reword the above as the following before
merging it to 'next'.
This patch introduces the <branch>@{publish} shorthand that
refers to the tracking branch of the remote branch to which
you would push if you were to push the named branch.
That's a mouthful to explain, so here's an example:
$ git checkout -b foo origin/master
$ git config remote.pushdefault github
$ git push
With this, foo@{upstream} and foo@{publish} would be origin/master
and github/foo, respectively (assuming that "git fetch github" is
configured to use refs/remotes/github/* remote-tracking branches).

I think we can polish that in-tree.
Thanks.
