The description of .git/info/sparse-checkout and
skip-worktree is exactly the opposite of what is true, which is:
If a file matches a pattern in sparse-checkout, then (it is to be
checked out and therefore) skip-worktree is unset for that file;
otherwise, it is set (so that it is not checked out).
Currently, the opposite is documented, and (consistently) read-tree's
behavior with respect to bit flips is descibed incorrectly.
Fix it.
In hindsight, it would have been much better to have a "sparse-ignore"
or "sparse-skip" file so that an empty file would mean a full checkout,
and the file logic would be analogous to that of .gitignore, excludes
and skip-worktree.

'git remote rename' will only update the remote's fetch refspec if it
looks like a default one. If the remote has no default fetch refspec,
as in
[remote "origin"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*
we would not update the fetch refspec and even if there is a ref
called "refs/remotes/origin/master", we should not rename it, since it
was not created by fetching from the remote.

When renaming a remote, we also try to update the fetch refspec
accordingly, but only if it has the default format. For others, such
as refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin, we are conservative and leave
it untouched. Let's give the user a warning about refspecs that are
not updated, so he can manually update the config if necessary.

When renaming a remote called 'o' using 'git remote rename o foo', git
should also rename any remote-tracking branches for the remote. This
does happen, but any remote-tracking branches starting with
'refs/remotes/o', such as 'refs/remotes/origin/bar', will also be
renamed (to 'refs/remotes/foorigin/bar' in this case).
Fix it by simply matching one more character, up to the slash
following the remote name.

When renaming a remote whose name is contained in a configured fetch
refspec for that remote, we currently replace the first occurrence of
the remote name in the refspec. This is correct in most cases, but
breaks if the remote name occurs in the fetch refspec before the
expected place. For example, we currently change
[remote "remote"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/remote/*
into
[remote "origin"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/origins/remote/*
Reduce the risk of changing incorrect sections of the refspec by
matching the entire ":refs/remotes/<name>/" instead of just "<name>".

It makes no sense to do the - possibly very expensive - call to "rev-list
<new-ref-sha1> --not --all" in check_for_new_submodule_commits() when
there aren't any submodules configured.
Leave check_for_new_submodule_commits() early when no name <-> path
mappings for submodules are found in the configuration. To make that work
reading the configuration had to be moved further up in cmd_fetch(), as
doing that after the actual fetch of the superproject was too late.

Adding a new command line option to receive-pack and feed it from
send-pack is not an acceptable way to add features, as there is no
guarantee that your updated send-pack will be talking to updated
receive-pack. New features need to be added via the capability mechanism
negotiated over the protocol.

When asked if "refs///heads/master" is valid, check-ref-format says "Yes,
it is well formed", and when asked to print canonical form, it shows
"refs/heads/master". This is so that it can be tucked after "$GIT_DIR/"
to form a valid pathname for a loose ref, and we normalize a pathname like
"$GIT_DIR/refs///heads/master" to de-dup the slashes in it.
Similarly, when asked if "/refs/heads/master" is valid, check-ref-format
says "Yes, it is Ok", but the leading slash is not removed when printing,
leading to "$GIT_DIR//refs/heads/master".
Fix it to make sure such leading slashes are removed. Add tests that such
refnames are accepted and normalized correctly.

Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files
under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues:
- If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the
command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the
command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository.
- An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object
stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/"
directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if
the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such
relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new
repository.
This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate
object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was
taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is
technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path
of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".
