When git-show-backports is called with -u, instead of reporting the
commit IDs of the original branch on the left, it will display the
upstream commit IDs when such IDs are known, and will also display
them in the suggested "git cherry-pick" command line. This is useful
when the new branch is more recent than the one being checked and/or
it is desired to get rid of intermediary changes.
These ones have been used for several months already and are quite
convenient to emit new releases and backport fixes. I'm fed up with
having different versions on different machines, let's commit them
now.
