Previously, if the branch structure was
origin/master
  master [ 3 commits behind origin/master ]
    my-branch [ 1 commit ahead of master ]
then git-cl would see that the upstream branch is master,
and decide to diff against origin/master instead. But that
diff would contain the contents of the three commits that
the local master branch hasn't caught up with yet. That's
not what we want.

This CL makes it so that basing on top of local master is
the same as basing on top of remote branches. Just like
when based on top of origin/master, it simply calculates
the merge-base with the parent commit (which is assumed
to be present in the remote), and uploads that diff.
