Merge branch 'rr/remote-branch-config-refresh'
The original way to specify remote repository using .git/branches/ used to have a nifty feature. The code to support the feature was still in a function but the caller was changed not to call it 5 years ago, breaking that feature and leaving the supporting code unreachable. * rr/remote-branch-config-refresh: t/t5505-remote: test multiple push/pull in remotes-file ls-remote doc: don't encourage use of branches-file ls-remote doc: rewrite <repository> paragraph ls-remote doc: fix example invocation on git.git t/t5505-remote: test url-with-# in branches-file remote: remove dead code in read_branches_file() t/t5505-remote: use test_path_is_missing t/t5505-remote: test push-refspec in branches-file t/t5505-remote: modernize style
