When cloning from a remote repository that has master, main, and
origin branches _and_ with the HEAD pointing at main branch, we
did quite confused things during clone. So this cleans things
up. The behaviour is a bit different between separate remotes/
layout and the mixed branches layout.
The newer layout with $GIT_DIR/refs/remotes/$origin/, things are
simpler and more transparent:
- remote branches are copied to refs/remotes/$origin/.
- HEAD points at the branch with the same name as the remote
HEAD points at, and starts at where the remote HEAD points at.
- $GIT_DIR/remotes/$origin file is set up to fetch all remote
branches, and merge the branch HEAD pointed at at the time of
the cloning.
Everything-in-refs/heads layout was the more confused one, but
cleaned up like this:
- remote branches are copied to refs/heads, but the branch
"$origin" is not copied, instead a copy of the branch the
remote HEAD points at is created there.
- HEAD points at the branch with the same name as the remote
HEAD points at, and starts at where the remote HEAD points at.
- $GIT_DIR/remotes/$origin file is set up to fetch all remote
branches except "$origin", and merge the branch HEAD pointed
at at the time of the cloning.
With this, the remote has master, main and origin, and its HEAD
points at main, you could:
git clone $URL --origin upstream
to use refs/heads/upstream as the tracking branch for remote
"main", and your primary working branch will also be "main".
"master" and "origin" are used to track the corresponding remote
branches and with this setup they do not have any special meaning.

This builds on top of the previous one.
* --use-separate-remote uses .git/refs/remotes/$origin/
directory to keep track of the upstream branches.
* The $origin above defaults to "origin" as usual, but the
existing "-o $origin" option can be used to override it.
I am not yet convinced if we should make "$origin" the synonym to
"refs/remotes/$origin/$name" where $name is the primary branch
name of $origin upstream, nor if so how we should decide which
upstream branch is the primary one, but that is more or less
orthogonal to what the clone does here.

This does two things.
* A new flag --reference can be used to name a local repository
that is to be used as an alternate. This is in response to
an inquiry by James Cloos in the message on the list
<m3r74ykue7.fsf@lugabout.cloos.reno.nv.us>.
* A new flag --use-separate-remote stops contaminating local
branch namespace by upstream branch names. The upstream
branch heads are copied in .git/refs/remotes/ instead of
.git/refs/heads/ and .git/remotes/origin file is set up to
reflect this as well. It requires to have fetch/pull update
to understand .git/refs/remotes by Eric Wong to further
update the repository cloned this way.
For the former change, git-fetch-pack is taught a new flag --all
to fetch from all the remote heads. Nobody uses the git-clone-pack
with this change, so we could deprecate the command, but removal
of the command will be left to a separate round.

When clone-pack has trouble with the remote, it dies unfriendly
"EOF" error message. We cannot tell the reason why it failed
from the local end; it could be that the repository did not
exist, or configured not to serve over git-daemon, or a network

Note that "funny ref" bits are not strictly fixes but rather
backport from the "master" branch. They will prevent refs and
heads with funny names from being created. In addition, what is
in the master branch will start feeding the clients unwrapped
tag information to help Martin's findtags and possibly later
Cogito. These backported "funny ref" changes are to prevent
clients on the "maint" branch from getting confused when talking
with newer git-upload-pack and when reading from info/refs file
prepared with newer git-update-server-info.

For local operations and downloading and uploading via git aware protocols,
use of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates is recommended on the server
side for big projects that are derived from another one (like Linux kernel).
However, dumb protocols and rsync transport needs to resolve this on the
client end, which we did not bother doing until this week.

which was not quite right. This commit also fixes it.

CDPATH has two problems:
* It takes scripts to unexpected places (somebody had
CDPATH=..:../..:$HOME and the "cd" in git-clone.sh:get_repo_base
took him to $HOME/.git when he said "clone foo bar" to clone a
repository in "foo" which had "foo/.git"). CDPATH mechanism does
not implicitly give "." at the beginning of CDPATH, which is
the most irritating part.
* The extra echo when it does its thing confuses scripts further.
Most of our scripts that use "cd" includes git-sh-setup so the problem
is primarily fixed there. git-clone starts without a repository, and
it needs its own fix.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if

(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
