Upstream sometimes uses merge commits which make it very difficult to maintain a cherry-pick based sync workflow. This change modifies the way syncing works so that it simply does a hard reset of the branch to the filtered repository. This should be more foolproof, with the downside that `main` is no longer up to date with upstream. Instead a new `upstream` branch is always up-to-date. Fixes #4861.
