It seems that this swapping is only necessary because the repository
is set up in this way:

    $ browser github.com
    ... fork upstream to your own publishing repository ...
    $ git clone <your publish repo>
    ... oops, I am set up to fetch from myself ...
    $ git remote set-url --push mine <url for your publish repo>
    $ git remote set-url <url for your upstream repo>

If you are fetching from somebody else and then pushing into your
own publishing repository (i.e. fork of that upstream), why isn't
the sequence of event like this, instead?

    $ git clone $upstream
    $ browser github.com
    ... fork upstream to your own publishing repository ...
    $ git remote set-url --push mine <url for your publish repo>

Isn't this one of those bad workflows encouraged by GitHub, for
which you guys have to be punished ;-)?
