Which repo is being queried for a remote named upstream?

Can confirm.

I suspect this is fromhttps://github.com/ryantm/nixpkgs-update/issues/137#issue-548704095

[ ] upstream remote is not set up

Workaround in your nixpkgs checkout:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git
git fetch upstream

Looking at https://github.com/ryantm/nixpkgs-update/blob/c1537fbba57e61ada042863b39c3616529691475/src/Git.hs, there are in fact a number of hard-coded references to upstream. My Haskell chops are unfortunately non-existent, so I don't understand what's actually going on.
