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 ;-)?
