We'll want to use this logic as a fallback when looking up
the pushremote, so let's pull it out into its own function.
We don't technically need to make this available outside of
remote.c, but doing so will provide a consistent API with
pushremote_for_branch, which we will add later.

When we create each branch struct, we fill in the
"remote_name" field from the config, and then fill in the
actual "remote" field (with a "struct remote") based on that
name. However, it turns out that nobody really cares about
the latter field. The only two sites that access it at all
are:
1. git-merge, which uses it to notice when the branch does
not have a remote defined. But we can easily replace this
with looking at remote_name instead.
2. remote.c itself, when setting up the @{upstream} merge
config. But we don't need to save the "remote" in the
"struct branch" for that; we can just look it up for
the duration of the operation.
So there is no need to have both fields; they are redundant
with each other (the struct remote contains the name, or you
can look up the struct from the name). It would be nice to
simplify this, especially as we are going to add matching
pushremote config in a future patch (and it would be nice to
keep them consistent).
So which one do we keep and which one do we get rid of?
If we had a lot of callers accessing the struct, it would be
more efficient to keep it (since you have to do a lookup to
go from the name to the struct, but not vice versa). But we
don't have a lot of callers; we have exactly one, so
efficiency doesn't matter. We can decide this based on
simplicity and readability.
And the meaning of the struct value is somewhat unclear. Is
it always the remote matching remote_name? If remote_name is
NULL (i.e., no per-branch config), does the struct fall back
to the "origin" remote, or is it also NULL? These questions
will get even more tricky with pushremotes, whose fallback
behavior is more complicated. So let's just store the name,
which pretty clearly represents the branch.*.remote config.
Any lookup or fallback behavior can then be implemented in
helper functions.

When we call branch_get() to lookup or create a "struct
branch", we make sure the "merge" field is filled in so that
callers can access it. But the conditions under which we do
so are a little confusing, and can lead to two funny
situations:
1. If there's no branch.*.remote config, we cannot provide
branch->merge (because it is really just an application
of branch.*.merge to our remote's refspecs). But
branch->merge_nr may be non-zero, leading callers to be
believe they can access branch->merge (e.g., in
branch_merge_matches and elsewhere).
It doesn't look like this can cause a segfault in
practice, as most code paths dealing with merge config
will bail early if there is no remote defined. But it's
a bit of a dangerous construct.
We can fix this by setting merge_nr to "0" explicitly
when we realize that we have no merge config. Note that
merge_nr also counts the "merge_name" fields (which we
_do_ have; that's how merge_nr got incremented), so we
will "lose" access to them, in the sense that we forget
how many we had. But no callers actually care; we use
merge_name only while iteratively reading the config,
and then convert it to the final "merge" form the first
time somebody calls branch_get().
2. We set up the "merge" field every time branch_get is
called, even if it has already been done. This leaks
memory.
It's not a big deal in practice, since most code paths
will access only one branch, or perhaps each branch
only one time. But if you want to be pathological, you
can leak arbitrary memory with:
yes @{upstream} | head -1000 | git rev-list --stdin
We can fix this by skipping setup when branch->merge is
already non-NULL.
In addition to those two fixes, this patch pushes the "do we
need to setup merge?" logic down into set_merge, where it is
a bit easier to follow.

The option parser for git-stash stuffs unknown flags into

this:
$ git stash drop --help
Dropped refs/stash@{0} (e6cf6d80faf92bb7828f7b60c47fc61c03bd30a1)
We should notice the extra flags and bail. Rather than
annotate each command to reject a non-empty $FLAGS variable,
we can notice that "stash show" is the only command that
actually _wants_ arbitrary flags. So we switch the default
mode to reject unknown flags, and let stash_show() opt into
the feature.

does its own die() instead. Note that the callers that do not
pass LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR need to be adjusted for this change, but

terminal.
If we don't have a terminal, however, this check never
succeeds, and we print no progress at all (until the final
"done" message). This can be seen when cloning a large
repository; instead of getting progress updates for
"counting objects", it will appear to hang then print the
final count.
We can fix this by treating an error return from tcgetpgrp()
as a signal to show the progress.

`git add` of an empty file with a filter pops complaints from
`copy_fd` about a bad file descriptor.
This traces back to these lines in sha1_file.c:index_core:
if (!size) {
ret = index_mem(sha1, NULL, size, type, path, flags);
The problem here is that content to be added to the index can be
supplied from an fd, or from a memory buffer, or from a pathname. This
call is supplying a NULL buffer pointer and a zero size.
Downstream logic takes the complete absence of a buffer to mean the
data is to be found elsewhere -- for instance, these, from convert.c:
if (params->src) {
write_err = (write_in_full(child_process.in, params->src, params->size) < 0);
} else {
write_err = copy_fd(params->fd, child_process.in);
}
~If there's a buffer, write from that, otherwise the data must be coming
from an open fd.~
Perfectly reasonable logic in a routine that's going to write from
either a buffer or an fd.
So change `index_core` to supply an empty buffer when indexing an empty
file.
There's a patch out there that instead changes the logic quoted above to
take a `-1` fd to mean "use the buffer", but it seems to me that the
distinction between a missing buffer and an empty one carries intrinsic
semantics, where the logic change is adapting the code to handle
incorrect arguments.

When we die() in http-backend, we call a custom handler that
writes an HTTP 500 response to stdout, then reports the
error to stderr. Our routines for writing out the HTTP
response may themselves die, leading to us entering die()
again.
When it was originally written, that was OK; our custom
handler keeps a variable to notice this and does not
recurse. However, since cd163d4 (usage.c: detect recursion
in die routines and bail out immediately, 2012-11-14), the
main die() implementation detects recursion before we even
get to our custom handler, and bails without printing
anything useful.
We can handle this case by doing two things:
1. Installing a custom die_is_recursing handler that
allows us to enter up to one level of recursion. Only
the first call to our custom handler will try to write
out the error response. So if we die again, that is OK.
If we end up dying more than that, it is a sign that we
are in an infinite recursion.
2. Reporting the error to stderr before trying to write
out the HTTP response. In the current code, if we do
die() trying to write out the response, we'll exit
immediately from this second die(), and never get a
chance to output the original error (which is almost
certainly the more interesting one; the second die is
just going to be along the lines of "I tried to write
to stdout but it was closed").

Currently, there is only one attempt to acquire any lockfile, and if
the lock is held by another process, the locking attempt fails
immediately.
This is not such a limitation for loose reference files. First, they
don't take long to rewrite. Second, most reference updates have a
known "old" value, so if another process is updating a reference at
the same moment that we are trying to lock it, then probably the
expected "old" value will not longer be valid, and the update will
fail anyway.
But these arguments do not hold for packed-refs:
* The packed-refs file can be large and take significant time to
rewrite.
* Many references are stored in a single packed-refs file, so it could
be that the other process was changing a different reference than
the one that we are interested in.
Therefore, it is much more likely for there to be spurious lock
conflicts in connection to the packed-refs file, resulting in
unnecessary command failures.
So, if the first attempt to lock the packed-refs file fails, continue
retrying for a configurable length of time before giving up. The
default timeout is 1 second.

Currently, there is only one attempt to lock a file. If it fails, the
whole operation fails.
But it might sometimes be advantageous to try acquiring a file lock a
few times before giving up. So add a new function,
hold_lock_file_for_update_timeout(), that allows a timeout to be
specified. Make hold_lock_file_for_update() a thin wrapper around the
new function.
If timeout_ms is positive, then retry for at least that many
milliseconds to acquire the lock. On each failed attempt, use select()
to wait for a backoff time that increases quadratically (capped at 1
second) and has a random component to prevent two processes from
getting synchronized. If timeout_ms is negative, retry indefinitely.

git-fetch did not return any merge candidates:
It doesn't make sense to pull all tags; you probably meant:
git fetch --tags
This is because at that time, git-fetch --tags would override any
configured refspecs, and thus there would be no merge candidates. The
error message was thus introduced to prevent confusion.
However, since c5a84e9 (fetch --tags: fetch tags *in addition to*
