Title: Specifying ORIGIN on 'git remote update'.

Github, Bitbucket, etc. are typically used as origin and they're fast but production and staging servers can be slow (especially Heroku). They also don't contain feature/hotfix branches in the Gitflow workflow.
The constant fetching of my staging and production servers was just a consistant minor annoyance.
