This commit changes the rules for resolving refspecs to match the
rules for resolving refs in rev-parse. git-rev-parse uses clear rules
to resolve a short ref to its full name, which are well documented.
The rules for resolving refspecs documented in git-send-pack were
less strict and harder to understand. This commit replaces them by
the rules of git-rev-parse.
The unified rules are easier to understand and better resolve ambiguous
cases. You can now push from a repository containing several branches
ending on the same short name.
Note, this may break existing setups. For example, "master" will no longer
resolve to "origin/master" even when there is no other "master" elsewhere.

This teaches "push <remote> HEAD" to resolve HEAD on the local
side to its real branch name, e.g. master, and then act as if
the real branch name was specified. So we have a shorthand for
pushing the current branch. Besides HEAD, no other symbolic ref
is resolved.
Thanks to Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> for suggesting
this implementation, which is much simpler than the
implementation proposed before.

The first test (updating local refs) should succeed without the
prior commit, but the second one (not updating on error) used to
fail before the prior commit was written.

The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing
for new users, since it will push changes that are not on
the current branch. Publishing patches that were still
cooking on a development branch is hard to undo.
It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion
of refspecs if you've edited them, so that you know
what branches matched on the server.
Adding a --dry-run flag allows the user to experiment
safely and learn how to use git-push properly. Originally
suggested by Steffen Prohaska.

Otherwise the hooks will be executed on cygwin and the test will fail
because of the contributed hooks.

When wc outputs whitespace, the test "$(command | wc -l)" = 1 is
broken because " 1" != "1". Let the shell eat the whitespace by
using test 1 = $(command | wc -l) instead.

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.
