PATCH 1/1 Replace deprecated git branch parameter "--set-upstream"

From: Andre Rosa <[email protected]>

Since 2017-08-17 (git version 2.14.1.473.g3ec7d702a) using deprecated git branch parameter "--set-upstream" causes a fetcher error. Replace it by "--set-upstream-to".

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/commit/?id=52668846ea2d41ffbd87cda7cb8e492dea9f2c4d
says, it's deprecated since 2012-08-30 so hopefully all still supported host distributions have new enough git to support "--set-upstream-to".

ERROR: PACKAGE do_unpack: Fetcher failure: ...;
git -c core.fsyncobjectfiles=0 branch --set-upstream master origin/master failed with exit code 128, output:
fatal: the '--set-upstream' option is no longer supported. Please use '--track' or '--set-upstream-to' instead.

ERROR: PACKAGE do_unpack: Function failed: base_do_unpack
