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'

Now find_unique_abbrev() never returns NULL, there is no need for callers
to prepare for seeing NULL and fall back to giving the full 40-hexdigits.
While we are at it, drop "..." in the "git reset" output that reports the
location of the new HEAD, between the abbreviated commit object name and
the one line commit summary. Because we are always showing the HEAD
(which cannot be missing!), we never had a case where we show the full 40
hexdigits that is not followed by three dots, and these three dots were
stealing 3 columns from the precious horizontal screen real estate out of
80 that can better be used for the one line commit summary.

Callers of start_command() can set the members .in and .out of struct
child_process to a value > 0 to specify that this descriptor is used as
the stdin or stdout of the child process.
Previously, if start_command() was successful, this descriptor was closed
upon return. Here we now make sure that the descriptor is also closed in
case of failures. All callers are updated not to close the file descriptor
themselves after start_command() was called.
Note that earlier run_gpg_verify() of git-verify-tag set .out = 1, which
worked because start_command() treated this as a special case, but now
this is incorrect because it closes the descriptor. The intent here is to
inherit stdout to the child, which is achieved by .out = 0.

By setting .in, .out, or .err members of struct child_process to -1, the
callers of start_command() can request that a pipe is allocated that talks
to the child process and one end is returned by replacing -1 with the
file descriptor.
Previously, a flag was set (for .in and .out, but not .err) to signal
finish_command() to close the pipe end that start_command() had handed out,
so it was optional for callers to close the pipe, and many already do so.
Now we make it mandatory to close the pipe.

This updates send-pack and fast-import to use symbolic constants
for checking the return values from check_ref_format(), and also
futureproof the logic in lock_any_ref_for_update() to explicitly
name the case that is usually considered an error but is Ok for
this particular use.

Instead of intermingling success and failure, we now print:
1. all uptodate refs (if args.verbose is enabled)
2. successfully pushed refs
3. failed refs
with the assumption that the user is most likely to see the
ones at the end, and therefore we order them from "least
interesting" to "most interesting."

This has always been slightly inaccurate, since it used the
new_refs counter, which really meant "did we send any
objects," so deletions were not counted.
It has gotten even worse with recent patches, since we no
longer look at the 'ret' value, meaning we would say "up to
date" if non-ff pushes were rejected.
Instead, we now claim up to date iff every ref is either
unmatched or up to date. Any other case should already have
generated a status line.

Previously, we set all ref pushes to 'OK', and then marked
them as errors if the remote reported so. This has the
problem that if the remote dies or fails to report a ref, we
just assume it was OK.
Instead, we use a new non-OK state to indicate that we are
expecting status (if the remote doesn't support the
report-status feature, we fall back on the old behavior).
Thus we can flag refs for which we expected a status, but
got none (conversely, we now also print a warning for refs
for which we get a status, but weren't expecting one).
This also allows us to simplify the receive_status exit
code, since each ref is individually marked with failure
until we get a success response. We can just print the usual
status table, so the user still gets a sense of what we were
trying to do when the failure happened.

This lets us show remote errors (e.g., a denied hook) along
with the usual push output.
There is a slightly clever optimization in receive_status
that bears explanation. We need to correlate the returned
status and our ref objects, which naively could be an O(m*n)
operation. However, since the current implementation of
receive-pack returns the errors to us in the same order that
we sent them, we optimistically look for the next ref to be
looked up to come after the last one we have found. So it
should be an O(m+n) merge if the receive-pack behavior
holds, but we fall back to a correct but slower behavior if
it should change.

Previously, we manually checked the 'NONE' and 'UPTODATE'
conditions. Now that we have ref->status, we can easily
say "only update if we pushed successfully".
This adds a test for and fixes a regression introduced in
ed31df31 where deleted refs did not have their tracking
branches removed. This was due to a bogus per-ref error test
that is superseded by the more accurate ref->status flag.

Instead of keeping the 'ret' variable, we instead have a
status flag for each ref that tracks what happened to it.
We then print the ref status after all of the refs have
been examined.
This paves the way for three improvements:
- updating tracking refs only for non-error refs
- incorporating remote rejection into the printed status
- printing errors in a different order than we processed
(e.g., consolidating non-ff errors near the end with
a special message)

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.

When pushing to overwrite a ref that points at a commit we do
not even have, the recent "terse push" patch tried to get a
unique abbreviation for the non-existent (from our point of
view) object, which resulted in strcpy(buf, NULL) and
segfaulted.
