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 path of the file to be locked is held in lock_file::filename,
which is a fixed-length buffer of length PATH_MAX. This buffer is
also (temporarily) used to hold the path of the lock file, which is
the path of the file being locked plus ".lock". Because of this, the
path of the file being locked must be less than (PATH_MAX - 5)
characters long (5 chars are needed for ".lock" and one character for
the NUL terminator).
On entry into lock_file(), the path length was only verified to be
less than PATH_MAX characters, not less than (PATH_MAX - 5)
characters.
When and if resolve_symlink() is called, then that function is
correctly told to treat the buffer as (PATH_MAX - 5) characters long.
This part is correct. However:
* If LOCK_NODEREF was specified, then resolve_symlink() is never
called.
* If resolve_symlink() is called but the path is not a symlink, then
the length check is never applied.
So it is possible for a path with length (PATH_MAX - 5 <= len <
PATH_MAX) to make it through the checks. When ".lock" is strcat()ted
to such a path, the lock_file::filename buffer is overflowed.
Fix the problem by adding a check when entering lock_file() that the
original path is less than (PATH_MAX - 5) characters.

transition away from dashed forms.
It has already been used to help the transision and served its
purpose, and is no longer very useful for follow-up work, because
the majority of remaining matches it finds are false positives.

In rebase -i --autosquash, ignore all "fixup! " or "squash! " after the

to an earlier fixup/squash instead of the original commit (whether
intentionally, as when the user expressly meant to note that the commit
fixes an earlier fixup; or inadvertently, as when the user meant to refer to
the original commit with :/msg; or out of laziness, as when the user could
remember how to refer to the fixup but not the original).
In the todo list, the full commit message is preserved, in case it provides
useful cues to the user. A test helper set_cat_todo_editor is introduced to
check this.
