Hi!

So this introduces another format of "upstream" information. So far I
had this:

		ma = re.match(".*Upstream commit ([0-9a-f]*) .*", l)
		...
                ma = re.match("commit ([0-9a-f]*) upstream[.]*", l)

I believe this information belongs to the signoff area; it is
important to know who pushed patch to the upstream and who is pusing
it to the stable.

Could we just introduce "Upstream: <sha1>" tag and use it? It would
improve consistency...

Thanks,
								Pavel
