Updating pull request from upstream remote fork

So I'm currently reviewing a pull request from an upstream repo that I forked, and created a local branch to fetch the pull request via git fetch upstream pull/869/head:readme. However, there have been some recent commits made to that pull request since I created the branch. How do I update the pull request branch to incorporate the new commits? Pull requests aren't visible in the same way that would allow me to otherwise do a git fetch upstream and git merge upstream/master

Try:

git config --add remote.upstream.fetch "+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/upstream/pr/*"

See more at "prm.md". The default refspec (+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*) does not fetch pull request

Then a fetch upstream would allow you to see 

upstream/pr/189

And you can rebase (not merge) your own branch of top of it.

git rebase upstream/pr/189
