This is not what I want, gbp-clone gives me:

  master tracking origin/master
  upstream tracking origin/upstream

but I would like to also get:

  upstream/master

where upstream is a remote pointing to git://github.com/pavouk/lgi.git
so that I can git fetch from upstream/master and merge into upstream
to import a new upstream release.  Is my desired workflow wrong?

This URL us not in the git repo, and if I'm not mistaken it can't
be added to, say, .gbp.conf.  Am I wrong?

Cheers
