git_branch_remote_name

Version:

Find the remote name of a remote-tracking branch

This will return the name of the remote whose fetch refspec is matching the given branch. E.g. given a branch "refs/remotes/test/master", it will extract the "test" part. If refspecs from multiple remotes match, the function will return GIT_EAMBIGUOUS.
