From 8391f01768864373d27cf7b1267ea69d54675cf6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Harald Nordgren Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 18:08:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] remote: pass repository to push tracking helper The next commit needs tracking_for_push_dest() to inspect the repository's configured remotes. Pass the repository through the existing callers and mark the new parameter as unused. No change in behavior.

This branch setting takes precedence over remote.pushDefault. A branch can be configured with a URL-valued pushRemote before any push occurs. If the remotes are later rearranged with "git remote rename" and "git remote add", the newly added remote may use that URL. The URL value is unaffected by the rename and continues to take precedence over remote.pushDefault. The URL and the remote then point to the same repository, but Git does not connect them for tracking. Pushing works, but @{push} cannot identify the remote's tracking branch. As a result, "git status" cannot show the push branch, and an up-to-date push can leave its tracking information stale. When exactly one configured remote would push to the same URL, use that remote for push tracking. Continue to push to the URL so the configured remote's push settings do not change existing behavior. Keep the current behavior when no remote matches or multiple remotes match.
