map_refspec() either returns the passed in ref string or a detached
strbuf. This makes it hard for callers to release the possibly
allocated memory, and set_refspecs() consequently leaks it.
Let map_refspec() append any refspecs directly and release its own
strbufs after use. Rename it to refspec_append_mapped() and don't
return anything to reflect its increased responsibility.
set_refspecs() also leaks its strbufs. Do the same here and directly
call refspec_append() in each if branch instead of holding onto a
detached strbuf, then dispose of the allocated memory after use. We
need to add an else branch for the final call because all the other
conditional branches already add their formatted refspec now.
setup_push_upstream() and setup_push_current() forgot to release their
strbufs as well; plug these leaks, too, while at it.
None of these leaks were likely to impact users, because the number
and sizes of refspecs are usually small and the allocations are only
done once per program run. Clean them up nevertheless, as another
step on the long road towards zero memory leaks.

In the codebase, there are many options which use OPTION_CALLBACK in a
plain ol' struct definition. However, we have the OPT_CALLBACK and
OPT_CALLBACK_F macros which are meant to abstract these plain struct
definitions away. These macros are useful as they semantically signal to
developers that these are just normal callback option with nothing fancy
happening.
Replace plain struct definitions of OPTION_CALLBACK with OPT_CALLBACK or
OPT_CALLBACK_F where applicable. The heavy lifting was done using the
following (disgusting) shell script:
#!/bin/sh
do_replacement () {
tr '\n' '\r' |
sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\s*0,\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6)/g' |
sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK_F(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6,\7)/g' |
tr '\r' '\n'
}
for f in $(git ls-files \*.c)
do
do_replacement <"$f" >"$f.tmp"
mv "$f.tmp" "$f"
done
The result was manually inspected and then reformatted to match the
style of the surrounding code. Finally, using
`git grep OPTION_CALLBACK \*.c`, leftover results which were not handled
by the script were manually transformed.

The option help text for the force-with-lease option to "git push"
reads like this:
$ git push -h 2>&1 | grep -e force-with-lease
--force-with-lease[=<refname>:<expect>]
which comes from having N_("refname>:<expect") as the argument help
text in the source code, with an aparent lack of "<" and ">" at both
ends.
It turns out that parse-options machinery takes the whole string and
encloses it inside a pair of "<>", to make it easier for majority
cases that uses a single token placeholder.
The help string was written in a funnily unbalanced way knowing that
the end result would balance out, by somebody who forgot the
presence of PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP, which is the escape hatch
mechanism designed to help such a case. We just should use the

Teach push the --recurse-submodules=only option. This enables push
to recursively push all unpushed submodules while leaving the
superproject unpushed.
This is a desirable feature in a scenario where updates to the
superproject are handled automatically by some other means, perhaps
a tool like Gerrit code review. In this scenario, a developer could
make a change which spans multiple submodules and then push their
commits for code review. Upon completion of the code review, their
commits can be accepted and applied to their respective submodules
while the code review tool can then automatically update the
superproject to the most recent SHA1 of each submodule. This would
reduce the merge conflicts in the superproject that could occur if
multiple people are contributing to the same submodule.

When the user does the lazy "git push" with no parameters with
push.default set to either "upstream", "simple" or "current",
we internally generated a refspec that has the current branch name
on the source side and used it to push.
However, the branch name (say "test") may be an ambiguous refname in
the context of the source repository---there may be a tag with the
same name, for example. This would trigger an unnecessary error
without any fault on the end-user's side.
Be explicit and give a full refname as the source side to avoid the
ambiguity. The destination side when pushing with the "current"
sent only the name of the branch and forcing the receiving end to
guess, which is the same issue. Be explicit there as well.

The warning was important before the 2.0 transition, and remained
important for a while after, so that new users get push.default
explicitly in their configuration and do not experience inconsistent
behavior if they ever used an older version of Git.
The warning has been there since version 1.8.0 (Oct 2012), hence we can
expect the vast majority of current Git users to have been exposed to
it, and most of them have already set push.default explicitly. The
switch from 'matching' to 'simple' was planned for 2.0 (May 2014), but
actually happened only for 2.3 (Feb 2015).
Today, the warning is mostly seen by beginners, who have not set their
push.default configuration (yet). For many of them, the warning is
confusing because it talks about concepts that they have not learned and
asks them a choice that they are not able to make yet. See for example
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13148066/warning-push-default-is-unset-its-implicit-value-is-changing-in-git-2-0
(1260 votes for the question, 1824 for the answer as of writing)
Remove the warning completely to avoid disturbing beginners. People who
still occasionally use an older version of Git will be exposed to the
warning through this old version.
Eventually, versions of Git without the warning will be deployed enough
and tutorials will not need to advise setting push.default anymore.

The plan for the push.default transition had all along been
to use the "simple" method rather than "upstream" as a
default if the user did not specify their own push.default
value. Commit 11037ee (push: switch default from "matching"
to "simple", 2013-01-04) tried to implement that by moving
PUSH_DEFAULT_UNSPECIFIED in our switch statement to
fall-through to the PUSH_DEFAULT_SIMPLE case.
When the commit that became 11037ee was originally written,
that would have been enough. We would fall through to
calling setup_push_upstream() with the "simple" parameter
set to 1. However, it was delayed for a while until we were
ready to make the transition in Git 2.0.
And in the meantime, commit ed2b182 (push: change `simple`
to accommodate triangular workflows, 2013-06-19) threw a
monkey wrench into the works. That commit drops the "simple"
parameter to setup_push_upstream, and instead checks whether
the global "push_default" is PUSH_DEFAULT_SIMPLE. This is
right when the user has explicitly configured push.default
to simple, but wrong when we are a fall-through for the
"unspecified" case.
We never noticed because our push.default tests do not cover
the case of the variable being totally unset; they only
check the "simple" behavior itself.

While signed tags and commits assert that the objects thusly signed
came from you, who signed these objects, there is not a good way to
assert that you wanted to have a particular object at the tip of a
particular branch. My signing v2.0.1 tag only means I want to call
the version v2.0.1, and it does not mean I want to push it out to my
'master' branch---it is likely that I only want it in 'maint', so
the signature on the object alone is insufficient.
The only assurance to you that 'maint' points at what I wanted to
place there comes from your trust on the hosting site and my
authentication with it, which cannot easily audited later.
Introduce a mechanism that allows you to sign a "push certificate"
(for the lack of better name) every time you push, asserting that
what object you are pushing to update which ref that used to point
at what other object. Think of it as a cryptographic protection for
ref updates, similar to signed tags/commits but working on an
orthogonal axis.
The basic flow based on this mechanism goes like this:
1. You push out your work with "git push --signed".
2. The sending side learns where the remote refs are as usual,
together with what protocol extension the receiving end
supports. If the receiving end does not advertise the protocol
extension "push-cert", an attempt to "git push --signed" fails.
Otherwise, a text file, that looks like the following, is
prepared in core:
certificate version 0.1
pusher Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1315427886 -0700
7339ca65... 21580ecb... refs/heads/master
3793ac56... 12850bec... refs/heads/next
The file begins with a few header lines, which may grow as we
gain more experience. The 'pusher' header records the name of
the signer (the value of user.signingkey configuration variable,
falling back to GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME|EMAIL}) and the time of the
certificate generation. After the header, a blank line follows,
followed by a copy of the protocol message lines.
Each line shows the old and the new object name at the tip of
the ref this push tries to update, in the way identical to how
the underlying "git push" protocol exchange tells the ref
updates to the receiving end (by recording the "old" object
name, the push certificate also protects against replaying). It
is expected that new command packet types other than the
old-new-refname kind will be included in push certificate in the
same way as would appear in the plain vanilla command packets in
unsigned pushes.
The user then is asked to sign this push certificate using GPG,
formatted in a way similar to how signed tag objects are signed,
and the result is sent to the other side (i.e. receive-pack).
In the protocol exchange, this step comes immediately before the
sender tells what the result of the push should be, which in
turn comes before it sends the pack data.
3. When the receiving end sees a push certificate, the certificate
is written out as a blob. The pre-receive hook can learn about
the certificate by checking GIT_PUSH_CERT environment variable,
which, if present, tells the object name of this blob, and make
the decision to allow or reject this push. Additionally, the
post-receive hook can also look at the certificate, which may be
a good place to log all the received certificates for later
audits.
Because a push certificate carry the same information as the usual
command packets in the protocol exchange, we can omit the latter
when a push certificate is in use and reduce the protocol overhead.
This however is not included in this patch to make it easier to
review (in other words, the series at this step should never be
released without the remainder of the series, as it implements an
interim protocol that will be incompatible with the final one).
As such, the documentation update for the protocol is left out of
this step.

The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).
This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
do_foo(arg);
else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
do_bar(arg);
