When pushing a refspec like "HEAD", we used to treat it as
"HEAD:HEAD", which didn't work without rewriting. Instead, we should
resolve the ref. If it's a symref, further require it to point to a
branch, to avoid doing anything especially unexpected. Also remove the
rewriting previously added in builtin-push.
Since the code for "HEAD" uses the regular refspec parsing, it
automatically handles "+HEAD" without anything special.
[jc: added a further test to make sure that "remote.*.push = HEAD" works]

The original problem was that the parsers for configuration files were
getting confused by seeing as nicknames remotes that involved
directory-changing characters. In particular, the branches config file
for ".." was particularly mystifying on platforms that can open
directories and read odd data from them.
The validation function was written by Junio Hamano (with a typo

The old rules used by fetch were coded as a series of ifs. The old
rules are:
1) match full refname if it starts with "refs/" or matches "HEAD"
2) verify that full refname starts with "refs/"
3) match abbreviated name in "refs/" if it starts with "heads/",
"tags/", or "remotes/".
4) match abbreviated name in "refs/heads/"
This is replaced by the new rules
a) match full refname
b) match abbreviated name prefixed with "refs/"
c) match abbreviated name prefixed with "refs/heads/"
The details of the new rules are different from the old rules. We no
longer verify that the full refname starts with "refs/". The new rule
(a) matches any full string. The old rules (1) and (2) were stricter.
Now, the caller is responsible for using sensible full refnames. This
should be the case for the current code. The new rule (b) is less
strict than old rule (3). The new rule accepts abbreviated names that
start with a non-standard prefix below "refs/".
Despite this modifications the new rules should handle all cases as
expected. Two tests are added to verify that fetch does not resolve
short tags or HEAD in remotes.
We may even think about loosening the rules a bit more and unify them
with the rev-parse rules. This would be done by replacing
ref_ref_fetch_rules with ref_ref_parse_rules. Note, the two new test
would break.

This commit changes the rules for resolving refspecs to match the
rules for resolving refs in rev-parse. git-rev-parse uses clear rules
to resolve a short ref to its full name, which are well documented.
The rules for resolving refspecs documented in git-send-pack were
less strict and harder to understand. This commit replaces them by
the rules of git-rev-parse.
The unified rules are easier to understand and better resolve ambiguous
cases. You can now push from a repository containing several branches
ending on the same short name.
Note, this may break existing setups. For example, "master" will no longer
resolve to "origin/master" even when there is no other "master" elsewhere.

Existing "git push --all" is almost perfect for backing up to
another repository, except that "--all" only means "all
branches" in modern git, and it does not delete old branches and
tags that exist at the back-up repository that you have removed
from your local repository.
This teaches "git-send-pack" a new "--mirror" option. The
difference from the "--all" option are that (1) it sends all
refs, not just branches, and (2) it deletes old refs you no
longer have on the local side from the remote side.

When the branch named with branch.$name.merge is not covered by
the fetch configuration for the remote repository named with
branch.$name.remote, we automatically add that branch to the set
of branches to be fetched. However, if the remote repository
does not have that branch (e.g. it used to exist, but got
removed), this is not a reason to fail the git-fetch itself.
The situation however will be noticed if git-fetch was called by
git-pull, as the resulting FETCH_HEAD would not have any entry
that is marked for merging.

My prior bug fix for git-push titled "Don't configure remote "." to
fetch everything to itself" actually broke t5520 as we were unable
to evaluate a branch configuration of:
[branch "copy"]
remote = .
merge = refs/heads/master
as remote "." did not have a "remote...fetch" configuration entry to
offer up refs/heads/master as a possible candidate available to be
fetched and merged. In shell script git-fetch and prior to the above
mentioned commit this was hardcoded for a url of "." to be the set of
local branches.
Chasing down this bug led me to the conclusion that our prior behavior
with regards to branch.$name.merge was incorrect. In the shell script
based git-fetch implementation we only fetched and merged a branch if
it appeared both in branch.$name.merge *and* in remote.$r.fetch, where
$r = branch.$name.remote. In other words in the following config file:
[remote "origin"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
fetch = refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "pu"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/pu
Attempting to run `git pull` while on branch "pu" would always give
the user "Already up-to-date" as git-fetch did not fetch pu and thus
did not mark it for merge in .git/FETCH_HEAD. The configured merge
would always be ignored and the user would be left scratching her
confused head wondering why merge did not work on "pu" but worked
fine on "master".
If we are using the "default fetch" specification for the current
branch and the current branch has a branch.$name.merge configured
we now union it with the list of refs in remote.$r.fetch. This
way the above configuration does what the user expects it to do,
which is to fetch only "master" by default but when on "pu" to
fetch both "master" and "pu".
This uncovered some breakage in the test suite where old-style Cogito
branches (.git/branches/$r) did not fetch the branches listed in
.git/config for merging and thus did not actually merge them if the
user tried to use `git pull` on that branch. Junio and I discussed
it on list and felt that the union approach here makes more sense to
DWIM for the end-user than silently ignoring their configured request
so the test vectors for t5515 have been updated to include for-merge
lines in .git/FETCH_HEAD where they have been configured for-merge
in .git/config.
Since we are now performing a union of the fetch specification and
the merge specification and we cannot allow a branch to be listed
twice (otherwise it comes out twice in .git/FETCH_HEAD) we need to
perform a double loop here over all of the branch.$name.merge lines
and try to set their merge flag if we have already schedule that
branch for fetching by remote.$r.fetch. If no match is found then
we must add new specifications to fetch the branch but not store it
as no local tracking branch has been designated.

When we are talking about a remote URI of "." we are really talking
about *this* repository that we are fetching into or pushing out of.
There are no matching tracking branches for this repository; we
do not attempt to map a ref back to ourselves as this would either
create an infinite cycle (for example "fetch = +refs/*:refs/mine/*")
or it causes problems when we attempt to push back to ourselves.
So we really cannot setup a remote like this:
[remote "."]
url = .
fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
In the case of `git push . B:T` to fast-forward branch T to B's
current commit git-send-pack will update branch T to B, assuming that
T is the remote tracking branch for B. This update is performed
immediately before git-send-pack asks git-receive-pack to perform
the same update, and git-receive-pack then fails because T is not
where git-send-pack told it to expect T to be at.
In the case of `git fetch .` we really should do the same thing as
`git fetch $otherrepo`, that is load .git/FETCH_HEAD with the commit
of HEAD, so that `git pull .` will report "Already up-to-date".
We have always behaved like this before on this insane request and
we should at least continue to behave the same way. With the above
(bad) remote configuration we were instead getting fetch errors
about funny refs, e.g. "refs/stash".

Earlier, when the local repository has a branch "frotz" and the
remote repository has a tag "frotz" (but not branch "frotz"),
"git-push frotz" mistakenly updated the tag at the remote side.
This was because the partial refname matching code was applied
independently on both source and destination side.
With this fix, when a colon-less refspec is given to git-push,
we first match it with the refs in the source repository, and
update the matching ref in the destination repository.

When "git push A:B" is given, and A (or B) is not a full refname
that begins with refs/, we require an unambiguous match with an
existing ref. For this purpose, a match with a local branch or
a tag (i.e. refs/heads/A and refs/tags/A) is called a "strong
match", and any other match is called a "weak match". A partial
refname is unambiguous when there is only one strong match with
any number of weak matches, or when there is only one weak match
and no other match.
However, as reported by Sparse with Ramsay Jones recently,
count_refspec_match() function had a bug where a variable in an
inner block masked a different variable of the same name, which
caused the weak matches to be ignored.
This fixes it, and adds tests for the fix.
