I think most people on 9front git tend to not rebase all that often,
so it could probablly use a bit of love. That said, I'm pretty sure
that I fixed this a while go.
Do you have a way for me to repro this issue?

if you have heads/mybranch and remotes/upstream/mybranch, then mybranch
will track upstream.
again, if you can give a repro, I can look at measuring why it's slow.
My typical workflow is that I'll work on a commit until it's ready, and
then either push it directly or cherry pick it onto front, and push it;
patches tend to be either an email of webpaste based workflow.
git/import /mail/fs/mbox/$MSGID
is killer for pulling in a patch.
I've got a TODO list item to work on some nice patch queue tools based
on this, gerrit style, but it's not been a priority so far.
