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.
When creating a new remote, contrary to loading one from disk,
active_refspecs was not populated. This means that if using the new
remote to push, git_push_update_tips() will be a no-op since it
checks the refspecs passed during the push against the base ones
i.e. active_refspecs. And therefore the local refs won't be created
or updated after the push operation.
There is one well-known and well-tested parser which we should use,
instead of implementing parsing a second time.
The common parser is also augmented to copy the LHS into the RHS if the
latter is empty.
The expressions test had to change a bit, as we now catch a bad RHS of a
refspec locally.
An anonymous remote wouldn't create remote-tracking branches, so testing
we don't create them for TAGS_ALL is nonsensical. Furthermore, the name
of the supposed remote-tracking branch was also not one which would have
been created had it had a name.
Give the remote a name and test that we only create the tags when we
pass TAGS_ALL and that we do create the remote-branch branch when given
TAGS_AUTO.
When a list of refspecs is passed to fetch (what git would consider
refspec passed on the command-line), we not only need to perform the
updates described in that refspec, but also update the remote-tracking
branch of the fetched remote heads according to the remote's configured
refspecs.
These "fetches" are not however to be written to FETCH_HEAD as they
would be duplicate data, and it's not what the user asked for.
With opportunistic ref updates, git has introduced the concept of having
base refspecs *and* refspecs that are active for a particular fetch.
Let's start by letting the user override the refspecs for download.
The order in this function is the opposite to what
create_with_fetchspec() has, so change this one, as url-then-refspec is
what git does.
As we need to break compilation and the swap doesn't do that, let's take
this opportunity to rename in-memory remotes to anonymous as that's
really what sets them apart.
