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".

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.

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.

Functions for managing ref lists were named based on their use in
match_refs (for push). For fetch, they will be used for other purposes, so
rename them as a separate patch to make the future code readable.

Instead of open-coding allocation wherever it happens, have a function.
Also, add a function to free a list of refs, which we currently never
actually do.

When "git push" is run without any refspec (neither on the
command line nor in the config), we used to push "matching refs"
in the sense that anything under refs/ hierarchy that exist on
both ends were updated. This used to be a sane default for
publishing your repository to another back when we did not have
refs/remotes/ hierarchy, but it does not make much sense these
days.
This changes the semantics to push only "matching branches".

* jc/remote:
git-push: Update description of refspecs and add examples
remote.c: "git-push frotz" should update what matches at the source.
remote.c: fix "git push" weak match disambiguation
remote.c: minor clean-up of match_explicit()
remote.c: refactor creation of new dst ref
remote.c: refactor match_explicit_refs()
Refspecs with no colons are left with no dst value, because they are
interepreted differently for fetch and push. For push, they mean to
reuse the src side. Fix this for patterns.

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.

When checking what ref the source refspec matches, we have no
business setting the default for the destination, so move that
code lower. Also simplify the result from the code block that
matches the source side by making it set matched_src only upon
unambiguous match.

This does not change functionality; just splits one block that

Otherwise
git push 'remote-name' 'refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/other/*'
will consider references in "refs/heads" of the remote repository
"remote-name", instead of the ones in "refs/remotes/other", which
the given refspec clearly means.

This means that send-pack and http-push will support pattern refspecs,
so builtin-push.c doesn't have to expand them, and also git push can
just turn --tags into "refs/tags/*", further simplifying
builtin-push.c
check_ref_format() gets a third "conditionally okay" result for
something that's valid as a pattern but not as a particular ref.

The new parser is different from the one in builtin-push in two ways:
the default is to use the current branch's remote, if there is one,
before "origin"; and config is used in preference to remotes.
