You don’t need to switch from one remote to the other. It is only a matter of where you get the updates from and push your changes to. Typically you would pull from the upstream (apple/swift) and push changes to origin (yourown/swift).

update-checkout script will call `git pull origin BRANCH_NAME` so, I guess my unusual approach to naming remotes works well in this case.
