Error messages should be sentence fragments, and therefore:
1. Should not begin with a capital letter,
2. Should not conclude with punctuation, and
3. Should not end a sentence and begin a new one
Somehow I ended up with the following in my ~/.gitconfig:
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = master
rebase = true
I assume something went crazy while I was running the git.git tests
some time ago, and that I never noticed until now.
This is not a good configuration, but it shouldn't cause problems. But
it does. Specifically, if you have this in your config, and you
perform the following set of actions:
create a remote
fetch from that remote
create a branch off of the remote master branch called "master"
delete the branch
delete the remote
The remote delete fails with the message "Could not find key
'branch.master.rebase' to delete". This is because it's iterating over
the config entries (including the ones in the global config) and
believes that there is a master branch which must therefore have these
config keys.

Set the error code when an error occurs in any of the called
functions. This ensures we pass the error up to callers and
actually free the remote when an error occurs.
When we're looking to update a tag, we can't stop if the tag auto-follow
rules don't say to update it. The tag might still match the refspec we
were given.
Introduce `git__getenv` which is a UTF-8 aware `getenv` everywhere.
Make `cl_getenv` use this to keep consistent memory handling around
return values (free everywhere, as opposed to only some platforms).
When a refspec contains no rhs and thus won't cause an explicit update,
we skip all the logic, but that means that we don't update FETCH_HEAD
with it, which is what the implicit rhs is.
Add another bit of logic which puts those remote heads in the list of
updates so we put them into FETCH_HEAD.
A remote's URLs are now modified according to the url.*.insteadOf
and url.*.pushInsteadOf configurations. This allows a user to
replace URL prefixes by setting the corresponding keys. E.g.
"url.foo.insteadOf = bar" would replace the prefix "bar" with the
new prefix "foo".
When we moved from acting on the instance to acting on the
configuration, we dropped the validation of the passed refspec, which
can lead to writing an invalid refspec to the configuration. Bring that
validation back.
These were left over from the culling as it's not clear which use-cases
might benefit from this. It is not clear that we want to support any
use-case which depends on changing the remote's idea of the base
refspecs rather than passing in different per-operation refspec list, so
remove these functions.
The base refspecs changing can be a cause of confusion as to what is the
current base refspec set and complicate saving the remote's
configuration.
Change `git_remote_add_{fetch,push}()` to update the configuration
instead of an instance.
This finally makes `git_remote_save()` a no-op, it will be removed in a
later commit.
While this will rarely be different from the default, having it in the
remote adds yet another setting it has to keep around and can affect its
behaviour. Move it to the options.
Instead of having it set in a different place from every other callback,
put it the main structure. This removes some state from the remote and
makes it behave more like clone, where the constructors are passed via
the options.
As a first step in removing the repository-saving logic, don't allow
chaning the url or push url from a remote object, but change the
configuration on the configuration immediately.
Having the setting be different from calling its actions was not a great
idea and made for the sake of the wrong convenience.
Instead of that, accept either fetch options, push options or the
callbacks when dealing with the remote. The fetch options are currently
only the callbacks, but more options will be moved from setters and
getters on the remote to the options.
This does mean passing the same struct along the different functions but
the typical use-case will only call git_remote_fetch() or
git_remote_push() and so won't notice much difference.
The push object knows which remote it's associated with, and therefore
does not need to keep its own copy of the callbacks stored in the
remote.
Remove the copy and simply access the callbacks struct within the
remote.
In checkout.c and filter.c we were casting a sub struct
to a parent struct which breaks the strict aliasing rules
in C. However we can use .parent or .base to access the
parent struct to avoid the build warnings.
In remote.c the local variable error was not initialized
or updated in some cases. For unintialized error a build
warning will be generated. So always keep error variable
up-to-date.
It can be useful for the caller to know which update commands will be
sent to the server before the packfile is pushed up. git does this via
the pre-push hook.
We don't have hooks, but as it adds introspection into what is
happening, we can add a callback which performs the same function.
This changes the get_entry() method to return a refcounted version of
the config entry, which you have to free when you're done.
This allows us to avoid freeing the memory in which the entry is stored
on a refresh, which may happen at any time for a live config.
For this reason, get_string() has been forbidden on live configs and a
new function get_string_buf() has been added, which stores the string in
a git_buf which the user then owns.
The functions which parse the string value takea advantage of the
borrowing to parse safely and then release the entry.
The signature for the reflog is not something which changes
dynamically. Almost all uses will be NULL, since we want for the
repository's default identity to be used, making it noise.
In order to allow for changing the identity, we instead provide
git_repository_set_ident() and git_repository_ident() which allow a user
to override the choice of signature.
