Since f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs,
2013-05-11), we stopped taking a non-storing refspec given on the
command line of "git fetch" literally, and instead started mapping
it via remote.$name.fetch refspecs. This allows
$ git fetch origin master
from the 'origin' repository, which is configured with
to reduce surprises and improve usability. Before that change, a
refspec on the command line without a colon was only to fetch the
history and leave the result in FETCH_HEAD, without updating the
remote-tracking branches.
When you are simulating a fetch from you by your mothership with a
push by you into your mothership, instead of having:
Because we so far did not make the corresponding change to the push
side, this command:
satellite$ git push mothership master
does _not_ allow you on the satellite to only push 'master' out but
still to the usual destination (i.e. refs/remotes/satellite/master).
Implement the logic to map an unqualified refspec given on the
command line via the remote.$name.push refspec. This will bring a
bit more symmetry between "fetch" and "push".
builtin/push.c: use strbuf instead of manual allocation
The command line arguments given to "git push" are massaged into
a list of refspecs in set_refspecs() function. This was implemented
using xmalloc, strcpy and friends, but it is much easier to read if
done using strbuf.
ref-iteration doc: add_submodule_odb() returns 0 for success
The usage sample of add_submodule_odb() function in the Submodules
section expects non-zero return value for success, but the function
actually reports success with zero.

submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from .gitmodules
When submodule.$name.update is given as hint from the upstream in
the .gitmodules file, we used to blindly copy it to .git/config,
unless there already is a value defined for the submodule.
However, there is no reason to expect that the update mode hinted by
the upstream is available in the version of Git the user is using,
and a really custom "!cmd" prepared by an upstream person running on
Linux may not even be available to a user on Windows. It is simply
irresponsible to copy the setting blindly and to attempt to use it
during a later "submodule update" without validating it first.
Just show the suggested value to the diagnostic output, and set the
value to 'none' in the configuration, if it is not one of the ones
that are known to be supported by this version of Git.

Some the labeled list entries have a blank line between the label
and the body text, and some don't. Use the latter style for
consistency; incidentally, syntax highlighting in Vim works better
if there is no blank line there.
Typeset literal options, commands, and path names in monospace.
When using `literal string` mark-up to do so, there is no need to
escape AsciiDoc special characters with backslashes, so make sure we
don't do so.
Replace some double quotes with proper AsciiDoc quotes
(e.g. ``foo'').

State correct usage of literal examples in man pages in the coding standards
The man pages contain inconsistent usage of backticks vs. single quotes
around options, commands, etc. that are in paragraphs. This commit states
that backticks should always be used around literal examples.
This commit states that "--" and friends should not be escaped
(e.g. use `--pretty=oneline` instead of `\--pretty=oneline`).
This commit also states correct usage for typesetting command usage
examples with inline substitutions.

Commit f2e0873 (branch: report invalid tracking branch as gone) removed
an early return from fill_tracking_info() in the path taken when 'git
branch -v' lists a branch in sync with its upstream. This resulted in an
unconditionally added space in front of the subject line:
This reverts commit 5e7dcad771cb873e278a0571b46910d7c32e2f6c; there
may be unbounded number of symbolic refs in the repository, but the
capability header line in the on-wire protocol has a rather low
length limit.
Documentation/git-log.txt: mark-up fix and minor rephasing
- typeset options, commands, and paths in monospace;
- typeset references to sections with emphasis;
- replace some double quotes with proper AsciiDoc quotes (e.g. ``foo'');
- use title case when referring to section headings.

"--log-size" was added in commit 9fa3465, and the commit message
contained a satisfactory explanation; however, the man page entry
for it did not describe the actual output format, what the output
meant and what the option was meant to be used for.

Merge branch 'jc/upload-pack-send-symref' into maint
One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git
clone" was that there was no way to tell the other end which branch
"HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess. A new
capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this
information so that cloning from a repository with more than one
branches pointing at the same commit where the HEAD is at now
reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository.
