Thanks for testing!

Ack, this is all just about an additional local Git remote.

That's the whole idea of dpt-upstream{-repo,vcs} :)

And this should also happen with `mr up' with our fancy .mrconfig 
(from meta.git). Did you have a chance to test this as well or can 
someone else, who uses this tool, test it (with the 'upstreamvcs' 
branch in meta.git)?

Nice!

That shouldn't be necessary, as the changes only affect the local 
repo.
