pull, fetch: fix segfault in --set-upstream option
Fix a segfault in the --set-upstream option added in
24bc1a12926 (pull, fetch: add --set-upstream option, 2019-08-19) added
in v2.24.0.
The code added there did not do the same checking we do for "git
branch" itself since 8efb8899cfe (branch: segfault fixes and
validation, 2013-02-23), which in turn fixed the same sort of segfault
I'm fixing now in "git branch --set-upstream-to", see
6183d826ba6 (branch: introduce --set-upstream-to, 2012-08-20).
The warning message I'm adding here is an amalgamation of the error
added for "git branch" in 8efb8899cfe, and the error output
install_branch_config() itself emits, i.e. it trims "refs/heads/" from
the name and says "branch X on remote", not "branch refs/heads/X on
remote".
I think it would make more sense to simply die() here, but in the
other checks for --set-upstream added in 24bc1a12926 we issue a
warning() instead. Let's do the same here for consistency for now.
There was an earlier submitted alternate way of fixing this in [1],
due to that patch breaking threading with the original report at [2] I
didn't notice it before authoring this version. I think the more
detailed warning message here is better, and we should also have tests
for this behavior.
The --no-rebase option to "git pull" is needed as of the recently
merged 7d0daf3f12f (Merge branch 'en/pull-conflicting-options',
2021-08-30).
