Won't work if git does not fetch origin/staging.  If you want to do this
via command line rather than just editing .git/config, you will need
some "git remote" variation.  I think I tried about four times to get
this right, and then decided just to post the config file extract.

I am really bad at working with user interfaces.  And this is not even a
GUI but the command line.
