Remotes are stored as an array, so looking one up or adding one without
duplication is an O(n) operation. Reading an entire config file full of
remotes is O(n^2) in the number of remotes. For a repository with tens of
thousands of remotes, the running time can hit multiple minutes.
Hash tables are way faster. So we add a hashmap from remote name to
struct remote and use it for all lookups. The time to add a new remote to
a repo that already has 50,000 remotes drops from ~2 minutes to < 1
second.
We retain the old array of remotes so iterators proceed in config-file
order.

When pushing, we do not even look at our push refspecs until
after we have made contact with the remote receive-pack and
gotten its list of refs. This means that we may go to some
work, including asking the user to log in, before realizing
we have simple errors like "git push origin matser".
We cannot catch all refspec problems, since fully evaluating
the refspecs requires knowing what the remote side has. But
we can do a quick sanity check of the local side and catch a
few simple error cases.

Fetching from a shallow-cloned repository used to be forbidden,
primarily because the codepaths involved were not carefully vetted
and we did not bother supporting such usage. This attempts to allow

Make "git push origin master" update the same ref that would be
updated by our 'master' when "git push origin" (no refspecs) is run
while the 'master' branch is checked out, which makes "git push"
more symmetric to "git fetch" and more usable for the triangular
workflow.
* jc/push-refmap:
push: also use "upstream" mapping when pushing a single ref
push: use remote.$name.push as a refmap
builtin/push.c: use strbuf instead of manual allocation
This patch just put together pieces from the 8 steps patch. We stop at
step 7 and reject refs that require new shallow commits.
Note that, by rejecting refs that require new shallow commits, we
leave dangling objects in the repo, which become "object islands" by
the next "git fetch" of the same source.
If the first fetch our "ours" set is zero and we do practically
nothing at step 7, "ours" is full at the next fetch and we may need to
walk through commits for reachability test. Room for improvement.

Since f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs,
2013-05-11), we stopped taking a non-storing refspec given on the
command line of "git fetch" literally, and instead started mapping
it via remote.$name.fetch refspecs. This allows
$ git fetch origin master
from the 'origin' repository, which is configured with
[remote "origin"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
to update refs/remotes/origin/master with the result, as if the
command line were
$ git fetch origin +master:refs/remotes/origin/master
to reduce surprises and improve usability. Before that change, a
refspec on the command line without a colon was only to fetch the
history and leave the result in FETCH_HEAD, without updating the
remote-tracking branches.
When you are simulating a fetch from you by your mothership with a
push by you into your mothership, instead of having:
[remote "satellite"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*
on the mothership repository and running:
mothership$ git fetch satellite
you would have:
[remote "mothership"]
push = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*
on your satellite machine, and run:
satellite$ git push mothership
Because we so far did not make the corresponding change to the push
side, this command:
satellite$ git push mothership master
does _not_ allow you on the satellite to only push 'master' out but
still to the usual destination (i.e. refs/remotes/satellite/master).
Implement the logic to map an unqualified refspec given on the
command line via the remote.$name.push refspec. This will bring a
bit more symmetry between "fetch" and "push".

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.
The machinery is more or less ready. The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).
The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily). It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

This plugs the push_cas_option data collected by the command line
option parser to the transport system with a new function
apply_push_cas(), which is called after match_push_refs() has
already been called.
At this point, we know which remote we are talking to, and what
remote refs we are going to update, so we can fill in the details
that may have been missing from the command line, such as
(1) what abbreviated refname the user gave us matches the actual
refname at the remote; and
(2) which remote-tracking branch in our local repository to read
the value of the object to expect at the remote.
to populate the old_sha1_expect[] field of each of the remote ref.
As stated in the documentation, the use of remote-tracking branch
as the default is a tentative one, and we may come up with a better
logic as we gain experience.
Still nobody uses this information, which is the topic of the next
patch.

Update "git push" and "git send-pack" to parse this commnd line
option.
The intended sematics is:
* "--force-with-lease" alone, without specifying the details, will
protect _all_ remote refs that are going to be updated by
requiring their current value to be the same as some reasonable
default, unless otherwise specified;
* "--force-with-lease=refname", without specifying the expected
value, will protect that refname, if it is going to be updated,
by requiring its current value to be the same as some reasonable
default.
* "--force-with-lease=refname:value" will protect that refname, if
it is going to be updated, by requiring its current value to be
the same as the specified value; and
* "--no-force-with-lease" will cancel all the previous --force-with-lease on the
command line.
For now, "some reasonable default" is tentatively defined as "the
value of the remote-tracking branch we have for the ref of the
remote being updated", and it is an error if we do not have such a
remote-tracking branch. But this is known to be fragile, its use is
not yet recommended, and hopefully we will find more reasonable
default as we gain experience with this feature. The manual marks
the feature as experimental unless the expected value is specified
explicitly for this reason.
Because the command line options are parsed _before_ we know which
remote we are pushing to, there needs further processing to the
parsed data after we instantiate the transport object to:
* expand "refname" given by the user to a full refname to be
matched with the list of "struct ref" used in match_push_refs()
and set_ref_status_for_push(); and
* learning the actual local ref that is the remote-tracking branch
for the specified remote ref.
Further, some processing need to be deferred until we find the set
of remote refs and match_push_refs() returns in order to find the
ones that need to be checked after explicit ones have been processed
for "--force-with-lease" (no specific details).
These post-processing will be the topic of the next patch.
This option was originally called "cas" (for "compare and swap"),
the name which nobody liked because it was too technical. The
second attempt called it "lockref" (because it is conceptually like
pushing after taking a lock) but the word "lock" was hated because
it implied that it may reject push by others, which is not the way
this option works. This round calls it "force-with-lease". You
assume you took the lease on the ref when you fetched to decide what
the rebased history should be, and you can push back only if the
lease has not been broken.

Without "git fetch --prune", remote-tracking branches for a branch
the other side already has removed will stay forever. Some people
want to always run "git fetch --prune".
To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching
from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables
"fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune":
- "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations.
- "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote.
The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune
option from the command line will override the configured default.
Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't
keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune
without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by
default.

about the local ref used by sha1-name API to name local objects.

the other side has, to define what refs are updated after object
transfer succeeds to what values. It belongs to "remote.h" together

Currently, do_push() in push.c calls remote_get(), which gets the
configured remote for fetching and pushing. Replace this call with a
call to pushremote_get() instead, a new function that will return the
remote configured specifically for pushing. This function tries to
work with the string pushremote_name, before falling back to the
codepath of remote_get(). This patch has no visible impact, but
serves to enable future patches to introduce configuration variables
to set pushremote_name. For example, you can now do the following in
handle_config():
if (!strcmp(key, "remote.pushdefault"))
git_config_string(&pushremote_name, key, value);
Then, pushes will automatically go to the remote specified by

Previously, running

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.

Furthermore, the option is set automatically by `git remote
add --mirror'.
The code in remote.c to parse remote.*.skipdefaultupdate
had a subtle problem: a comment in the code indicated that
special care was needed for boolean options, but this care was
not used in parsing the option. Since I was touching related
code, I did this fix too.
[jc: and I further fixed up the "ignore boolean" code.]

This can happen if the arguments to git-remote add is switched by the
user, and git would only show an error if fetching was also requested.
Fix it by using the refspec parsing engine to check if the requested
name can be parsed as a remote before add it.
Also cleanup so that the "remote.<name>.url" config name buffer is only
initialized once.

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:
$ git push ../test.git ':/remote.c: Fix overtight refspec:master'

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.

The list of remote refs in struct transport should be const, because
builtin-fetch will get confused if it changes.
The url in git_connect should be const (and work on a copy) instead of
requiring the caller to copy it.
match_refs doesn't modify the refspecs it gets.
get_fetch_map and get_remote_ref don't change the list they get.
Allow transport get_refs_list methods to modify the struct transport.
Add a function to copy a list of refs, when a function needs a mutable
copy of a const list.
Add a function to check the type of a ref, as per the code in connect.c

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.

If multiple refspecs matched the same ref, the update would be

source has no additional effect, and having the same destination for
different sources is an error.

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.

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.

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.
