Earlier remote.pushdefault (and per-branch branch.*.pushremote)
were introduced as an additional mechanism to choose what
repository to push into when "git push" did not say it from the
command line, to help people who push to a repository that is
different from where they fetch from. This attempts to finish that
topic by teaching the default mechanism to choose branch in the
remote repository to be updated by such a push.
The 'current', 'matching' and 'nothing' modes (specified by the
push.default configuration variable) extend to such a "triangular"
workflow naturally, but 'upstream' and 'simple' have to be updated.
. 'upstream' is about pushing back to update the branch in the
remote repository that the current branch fetches from and
integrates with, it errors out in a triangular workflow.
. 'simple' is meant to help new people by avoiding mistakes, and
will be the safe default in Git 2.0.
In a non-triangular workflow, it will continue to act as a cross
between 'upstream' and 'current' in that it pushes to the current
branch's @{upstream} only when it is set to the same name as the
current branch (e.g. your 'master' forks from the 'master' from
the central repository).
In a triangular workflow, this series tentatively defines it as
the same as 'current', but we may have to tighten it to avoid
surprises in some way.

The recent addition of status.branch started affecting what is shown
when "git status --porcelain" is run by mistake. Identify the
configuration items that should be ignored under "--porcelain"
option, introduce a "deferred config" mechanism to keep the values
read from the configuration, and decide what value to use only after
we read both from configuration and command line.

With "status.short" set, it is now impossible to commit with
status.short set, because it acts like "git commit --short", and it
is impossible to differentiate between a status_format set by the
command-line option parser versus that set by the config parser.
To alleviate this problem, clear status_format as soon as the config
parser has finished its work.

When remote.pushdefault or branch.<name>.pushremote is set to a
remote that is different from where you usually fetch from (i.e. a
triangular workflow), master@{u} != origin, and push.default is set
to `upstream` or `simple` would fail with this error:
$ git push
fatal: You are pushing to remote 'origin', which is not the upstream of
your current branch 'master', without telling me what to push
to update which remote branch.
The very name of "upstream" indicates that it is only suitable for
use in central workflows; let us not even attempt to give it a new
meaning in triangular workflows, and error out as before.
However, the `simple` does not have to share this error. It is
poised to be the default for Git 2.0, and we would like it to do
something sensible in triangular workflows.
Redefine "simple" as "safer upstream" for centralized workflow as
before, but work as "current" for triangular workflow.
We may want to make it "safer current", but that is a separate
issue.

2901bbe (apply: free patch->{def,old,new}_name fields, 2012-03-21)
cleaned up the memory management of filenames in the patches, but
forgot that find_name_traditional() can return NULL as a way of saying
"I couldn't find a name".
That NULL unfortunately gets passed into xstrdup() next, resulting in
a segfault. Use null_strdup() so as to safely propagate the null,
which will let us emit the correct error message.

When an user wants to filter specific ref using the --refs option,
the pattern needs to match the full ref, e.g. --refs=refs/tags/v1.*.
It'd be convenient to specify a subpath of ref pattern. For
example, --refs=origin/* can find refs/remotes/origin/master by
searching the pattern against its substrings in turn:
refs/remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/master
origin/master
If it finds a match in a subpath, unambigous part of the ref path will
be removed in the output.

remote_find_tracking() populates the query struct with an allocated
string in the dst member. So, we do not need to xstrdup() the string,
since we can transfer ownership from the query struct (which will go
out of scope at the end of this function) to our callback struct, but
we must free the string if it will not be used so we will not leak
memory.
Let's do so.

file paths which it prints are prefixed with the full path from the top
of the working tree.

The compiler can short-circuit the evaluation of conditions strung
together with logical OR operators instead of computing the resulting
bitmask with binary ORs. More importantly, this patch makes the
intent of the changed code clearer, because the logical context (as
opposed to binary context) becomes immediately obvious.
While we're at it, simplify the check for patch->is_rename in
builtin/apply.c a bit; it can only be 0 or 1, so we don't need a
comparison operator.

This is a pure code movement of the machinery for copying notes to
rewritten objects. This code was located in builtin/notes.c for
historical reasons. In order to make it available to builtin/commit.c
it was declared in builtin.h. This was more of an accident of history
than a concious design, and we now want to make this machinery more
widely available.
Hence, this patch moves the code into the new notes-utils.[hc] files
which are included into libgit.a. Except for adjusting #includes
accordingly, this patch merely moves the relevant functions verbatim
into the new files.

When copying notes for a rewritten object, the resulting notes commit
would have the following hardcoded commit message:
Notes added by 'git notes copy'
This is obviously bogus when the notes rewriting is performed by
'git commit --amend'.
Therefore, let the caller specify an appropriate notes commit message
instead of hardcoding it. The above message is used for 'git notes copy',
but when calling finish_copy_notes_for_rewrite() from builtin/commit.c,
we use the following message instead:
Notes added by 'git commit --amend'

The primary invariant of sort_in_topological_order() is that a
parent commit is not emitted until all children of it are. When
traversing a forked history like this with "git log C E":
A----B----C
\
D----E
we ensure that A is emitted after all of B, C, D, and E are done, B
has to wait until C is done, and D has to wait until E is done.
In some applications, however, we would further want to control how
these child commits B, C, D and E on two parallel ancestry chains
are shown.
Most of the time, we would want to see C and B emitted together, and
then E and D, and finally A (i.e. the --topo-order output). The
"lifo" parameter of the sort_in_topological_order() function is used
to control this behaviour. We start the traversal by knowing two
commits, C and E. While keeping in mind that we also need to
inspect E later, we pick C first to inspect, and we notice and
record that B needs to be inspected. By structuring the "work to be
done" set as a LIFO stack, we ensure that B is inspected next,
before other in-flight commits we had known that we will need to
inspect, e.g. E.
When showing in --date-order, we would want to see commits ordered
by timestamps, i.e. show C, E, B and D in this order before showing
A, possibly mixing commits from two parallel histories together.
When "lifo" parameter is set to false, the function keeps the "work
to be done" set sorted in the date order to realize this semantics.
After inspecting C, we add B to the "work to be done" set, but the
next commit we inspect from the set is E which is newer than B.
The name "lifo", however, is too strongly tied to the way how the
function implements its behaviour, and does not describe what the
behaviour _means_.
Replace this field with an enum rev_sort_order, with two possible
values: REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER and REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE, and
update the existing code. The mechanical replacement rule is:
"lifo == 0" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE"
"lifo == 1" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER"

Most users seem to like having colors enabled, and colors can help
beginners to understand the output of some commands (e.g. notice
immediately the boundary between commits in the output of "git log").
Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step,
which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value,
hence should not be the default.
These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the
real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about
color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with
black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors.
A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can
easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git"
already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in
beginner-oriented documentations.
A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset
would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems
superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not
harmed by it.
The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to
mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after
this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.
