The "upstream" attribute is only used when the project also has a "revision" attribute and the revision is a sha1.

Please refer to the description in docs/manifest_format.txt in the git-repo project:

Attribute `upstream`: Name of the Git branch in which a sha1

can be found. Used when syncing a revision locked manifest in

-c mode to avoid having to sync the entire ref space.

Any correct usage for attribute "upstream"? and "dest-branch" ?

ex) Provided that upstream attribute is set in manifests below.
<project name="sample_yocto/meta-browser" path="poky/meta-browser" upstream="branch_a"/>

I can use this command. is it right?

repo forall -c 'git push origin ${REPO_UPSTREAM}'
