When your fetch configuration has only the wildcards, we would
pick the lexicographically first ref from the remote side for
merging, which was complete nonsense. Make sure nothing except
the one that is specified with branch.*.merge is merged in this
case.

People often get confused if the value of branch.*.merge should
be the remote branch name they are fetching from, or the
tracking branch they locally have. So this allows either.

We used to support specifying the top part of remote URL in
remotes and use that as a short-hand for the URL.
$ cat .git/remotes/jgarzik
URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/
$ git pull jgarzik/misc-2.6
This is confusing when somebody attempts to do this:
$ git pull origin/foo
which is not syntactically correct (unless you have origin/foo.git
repository) and should fail, but it resulted in a mysterious
access to the 'foo' subdirectory of the origin repository.
Which was what it was designed to do, but because this is an
oddball "feature" I suspect nobody uses, let's remove it.

This will not be backward compatible no matter how you cut it.
Shelve it for now until somebody comes up with a better way to
determine when we can safely refuse to use the first set of
branchse for merging without upsetting valid workflows.

An earlier commit a71fb0a1 implemented much requested safety
valve to refuse "git pull" or "git pull origin" without explicit
refspecs from using the first set of remote refs obtained by
reading .git/remotes/origin file or branch.*.fetch configuration
variables to create a merge. The argument was that while on a
branch different from the default branch, it is often wrong to
merge the default remote ref suitable for merging into the master.
That is fine as a theory. But many repositories already in use
by people in the real world do not have any of the per branch
configuration crap. They did not need it, and they do not need
it now. Merging with the first remote ref listed was just fine,
because they had only one ref (e.g. 'master' from linux-2.6.git)
anyway.
So this changes the safety valve to be a lot looser. When "git
fetch" gets only one remote branch, the irritating warning would
not trigger anymore.
I think we could also make the warning trigger when branch.*.merge
is not specified for the current branch, but is for some other
branch. That is for another commit.

This reverts commit a71fb0a1412c82405f078fb536797d3f5de68d53.
The logic to decide when to refuse to use the default "first set of
refs fetched" for merge was utterly bogus.
In a repository that happily worked correctly without any of the
per-branch configuration crap did not have (and did not have to
have) any branch.<current>.merge. With that broken commit, pulling
from origin no longer would work.

The warning triggered even when running "git fetch" only
when resulting .git/FETCH_HEAD only contained
branches marked as 'not-for-merge'.

Work around dash incompatibility by not using "${name%'^{}'}".
Noticed by Jeff King; dash seems to mistake the closing brace
inside the single quote as the terminating brace for parameter
expansion.

Everybody hated the pull behaviour of merging the first branch
listed on remotes/* file (or remote.*.fetch config) into the
current branch. This finally corrects that UI wart by
forbidding "git pull" without an explicit branch name on the
command line or branch.$current.merge for the current branch.
The matching change to git-clone was made to prepare the default
branch.*.merge entry for the primary branch some time ago.

This patch clarifies the meaning of the branch.*.merge option.
Previously, if branch.*.merge was specified but did not match any
ref, the message "No changes." was not really helpful regarding
the misconfiguration. This patch adds a warning for this.

There was a little bug in the brace expansion which should remove
the ^{} from the tagname. It used ${name#'^{}'} instead of $(name%'^{}'},
the difference is that '#' will remove the given pattern only from the
beginning of a string and '%' only from the end of a string.

Building on top of the earlier refspec glob pattern enhancement,
this allows a glob pattern to say the updates should be forced
by prefixing it with '+' as usual, like this:
Pull: +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

This adds Andy's refspec glob. You can have a single line:
Pull: refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
in your ".git/remotes/origin" and say "git fetch" to retrieve
all refs under heads/ at the remote side to remotes/origin/ in
the local repository.

The regexp on the right hand side of expr : operator somehow was
broken.
expr 'z+pu:refs/tags/ko-pu' : 'z\+\(.*\)'
does not strip '+'; write 'z+\(.*\)' instead.
We probably should switch to shell based substring post 1.3.0;
that's not bashism but just POSIX anyway.

Some words, e.g., `match', are special to expr(1), and cause strange
parsing effects. Track down all uses of expr and mangle the arguments
so that this isn't a problem.

We can now easily fetch and merge things from heads in the
refs/remotes/ hierarchy in remote repositories.
The refs/remotes/ hierarchy is likely to become the standard for
tracking foreign SCMs, as well as the location of Pull: targets
for tracking remote branches in newly cloned repositories.

There is no reason to use git-sh-setup from git-ls-remote.
git-parse-remote can help the caller to use .git/remotes
shortcut if it is run inside a git repository, but can still be
useful outside a git repositoryas long as the caller does not
use any shortcut. Use "git-rev-parse --git-dir" to figure out
where the GIT_DIR is, instead of using git-sh-setup.
This also makes "git-ls-remote origin" to work from inside a
subdirectory of a git managed repository as a side effect.

Using git-check-ref-format, make sure we do not create refs with
funny names when cloning from elsewhere (clone-pack), fast forwarding
local heads (git-fetch), or somebody pushes into us (receive-pack).

The refspecs specified in the .git/remotes/<remote> on the "Pull: "
lines are for fetching multiple heads in one go, but most of the time
making an Octopus out of them is not what is wanted. Make git-fetch
leave the marker in .git/FETCH_HEAD file so that later stages can
tell which heads are for merging and which are not.
Tom Prince made me realize how stupid the original behaviour was.

For local operations and downloading and uploading via git aware protocols,
use of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates is recommended on the server
side for big projects that are derived from another one (like Linux kernel).
However, dumb protocols and rsync transport needs to resolve this on the
client end, which we did not bother doing until this week.
I noticed we use "rsync -z" but most of our payload is already compressed,
which was not quite right. This commit also fixes it.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
