6e7b66eebd fetch: fetch objects by their exact SHA-1 object names
Teach "git fetch" to accept an exact SHA-1 object name the user may
obtain out of band on the LHS of a pathspec, and send it on a "want"
message when the server side advertises the allow-tip-sha1-in-want
capability.

6ddba5e241 push: add '--prune' option
When pushing groups of refs to a remote, there is no simple way to remove
old refs that still exist at the remote that is no longer updated from us.
This will allow us to remove such refs from the remote.

With this change, running this command

 $ git push --prune remote refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/laptop/*

removes refs/remotes/laptop/foo from the remote if we do not have branch
"foo" locally anymore.

ed43de6ec3 fetch: honor the user-provided refspecs when pruning refs
If the user gave us refspecs on the command line, we should use those
when deciding whether to prune a ref instead of relying on the
refspecs in the config.

Previously, running

    git fetch --prune origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

would delete every other ref under the origin namespace because we
were using the refspec to filter the available refs but using the
configured refspec to figure out if a ref had been deleted on the
remote. This is clearly the wrong thing to do.

Change prune_refs and get_stale_heads to simply accept a list of
references and a list of refspecs. The caller of either function needs
to decide what refspecs should be used to decide whether a ref is
stale.

4b05548fc0 enums: omit trailing comma for portability
Without this patch at least IBM VisualAge C 5.0 (I have 5.0.2) on AIX
5.1 fails to compile git.

enum style is inconsistent already, with some enums declared on one
line, some over 3 lines with the enum values all on the middle line,
sometimes with 1 enum value per line... and independently of that the
trailing comma is sometimes present and other times absent, often
mixing with/without trailing comma styles in a single file, and
sometimes in consecutive enum declarations.

Clearly, omitting the comma is the more portable style, and this patch
changes all enum declarations to use the portable omitted dangling
comma style consistently.

20e8b465a5 refactor ref status logic for pushing
Move the logic that detects up-to-date and non-fast-forward refs to a
new function in remote.[ch], set_ref_status_for_push().

Make transport_push() invoke set_ref_status_for_push() before invoking
the push_refs() implementation. (As a side-effect, the push_refs()
implementation in transport-helper.c now knows of non-fast-forward
pushes.)

Removed logic for detecting up-to-date refs from the push_refs()
implementation in transport-helper.c, as transport_push() has already
done so for it.

Make cmd_send_pack() invoke set_ref_status_for_push() before invoking
send_pack(), as transport_push() can't do it for send_pack() here.

Mark the test on the return status of non-fast-forward push to fail.
Git now exits with success, as transport.c::transport_push() does not
check for refs with status REF_STATUS_REJECT_NONFASTFORWARD nor does it
indicate rejected pushes with its return value.

Mark the test for ref status to succeed. As mentioned earlier, refs
might be marked as non-fast-forwards, triggering the push status
printing mechanism in transport.c.

c578f51d52 Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs
If this is set, the url is not required, and the transport always uses
a helper named "git-remote-<value>".

It is a separate configuration option in order to allow a sensible
configuration for foreign systems which either have no meaningful urls
for repositories or which require urls that do not specify the system
used by the repository at that location. However, this only affects
how the name of the helper is determined, not anything about the
interaction with the helper, and the contruction is such that, if the
foreign scm does happen to use a co-named url method, a url with that
method may be used directly.

4229f1fa32 remote: let guess_remote_head() optionally return all matches
Determining HEAD is ambiguous since it is done by comparing SHA1s.

In the case of multiple matches we return refs/heads/master if it
matches, else we return the first match we encounter. builtin-remote
needs all matches returned to it, so add a flag for it to request such.

To be simple and consistent, the return value is now a copy (including
peer_ref) of the matching refs.

6cb4e6cc0f remote: simplify guess_remote_head()
This function had complications which made it hard to extend.

- It used to do two things: find the HEAD ref, and then find a
  matching ref, optionally returning the former via assignment to a
  passed-in pointer. Since finding HEAD is a one-liner, just have a
  caller do it themselves and pass it as an argument.

- It used to manually search through the ref list for
  refs/heads/master; this can be a one-line call to
  find_ref_by_name.

People seem to like "Your branch is ahead by N commit" report made by
"git checkout", but the interface into the statistics function was a bit
clunky.  This splits the function into three parts:

 * The core "commit counting" function that takes "struct branch" and
   returns number of commits to show if we are ahead, behind or forked;

 * Convenience "stat formating" function that takes "struct branch" and
   formats the report into a given strbuf, using the above function;

 * "checkout" specific function that takes "branch_info" (type that is
   internal to checkout implementation), calls the above function and
   print the formatted result.

46220ca100 remote.c: Fix overtight refspec validation
We tightened the refspec validation code in an earlier commit ef00d15
(Tighten refspec processing, 2008-03-17) per my suggestion, but the
suggestion was misguided to begin with and it broke this usage:

    $ git push origin HEAD~12:master

The syntax of push refspecs and fetch refspecs are similar in that they
are both colon separated LHS and RHS (possibly prefixed with a + to
force), but the similarity ends there.  For example, LHS in a push refspec
can be anything that evaluates to a valid object name at runtime (except
when colon and RHS is missing, or it is a glob), while it must be a
valid-looking refname in a fetch refspec.  To validate them correctly, the
caller needs to be able to say which kind of refspecs they are.  It is
unreasonable to keep a single interface that cannot tell which kind it is
dealing with, and ask it to behave sensibly.

This commit separates the parsing of the two into different functions, and
clarifies the code to implement the parsing proper (i.e. splitting into
two parts, making sure both sides are wildcard or neither side is).

This happens to also allow pushing a commit named with the esoteric "look
for that string" syntax:

28b9d6e548 Teach send-pack a mirror mode
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.

9ad7c5ae8a git-fetch: do not fail when remote branch disappears
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.

2467a4fa03 Remove duplicate ref matches in fetch
If multiple refspecs matched the same ref, the update would be
processed multiple times. Now having the same destination for the same
source has no additional effect, and having the same destination for
different sources is an error.

28b91f8ad9 Rename remote.uri to remote.url within remote handling internals
Anyplace we talk about the address of a remote repository we always
refer to it as a URL, especially in the configuration file and
.git/remotes where we call it "remote.$n.url" or start the first
line with "URL:".  Calling this value a uri within the internal C
code just doesn't jive well with our commonly accepted terms.

85682c1903 Correct handling of branch.$name.merge in builtin-fetch
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.

cf818348f1 Report information on branches from remote.h
This adds full parsing for branch.<name> sections and functions to
interpret the results usefully. It incidentally corrects the fetch
configuration information for legacy branches/* files with '#'
characters in the URLs.

b42f69273b Add for_each_remote() function, and extend remote_find_tracking()
The function for_each_remote() does exactly what the name
suggests.

The function remote_find_tracking() was extended to be able to
search remote refs for a given local ref.  The caller sets
either src or dst (but not both) in the refspec parameter, and
remote_find_tracking() will fill in the other and return 0.

Both changes are required for the next step: simplification of
git-branch's --track functionality.
