This offers an interesting observation that I didn't think of while
reviewing the first round of this series.
Do translations want to translate "remote" and "branch" without the
"<bra" and "ket>"? Or is it better to allow translations to adjust
the "quote around a placeholder" in a locale dependent way?

I know this hunk follows I suggested, i.e. "quotes around a
placeholder is universal and locale independent". However, ...

... this does not. It allows to translate the "quote around a
placeholder". And where this phony "remote_name" string is used,
there is also this reference to <branch>:
fprintf_ln(stderr, _("If you wish to set tracking information for ..."
"\n"
" git branch --set-upstream-to=%s/<branch> %s\n"),
remote_name, curr_branch->name);
which also does.
Perhaps the first hunk at around ll.458 would want to do

to be consistent and more flexible for the translator's needs? The
quoting convention may be locale dependent after all.
