If a git push without any refspecs is attempted, display a warning.
The current default behavior is to push all matching refspecs, which
may come as a surprise to new users, so the warning shows how
push.default can be configured and what the possible values are.
Traditionalists who wish to keep the current behaviour are also told
how to configure this once and never see the warning again.

When "git push" is not told what refspecs to push, it pushes all matching
branches to the current remote. For some workflows this default is not
useful, and surprises new users. Some have even found that this default
behaviour is too easy to trigger by accident with unwanted consequences.
Introduce a new configuration variable "push.default" that decides what
action git push should take if no refspecs are given or implied by the
command line arguments or the current remote configuration.
Possible values are:
'nothing' : Push nothing;
'matching' : Current default behaviour, push all branches that already
exist in the current remote;
'tracking' : Push the current branch to whatever it is tracking;
'current' : Push the current branch to a branch of the same name,
i.e. HEAD.

When there's no explicitly-named remote, we use the remote specified
for the current branch, which in turn defaults to "origin". But it
this case should require the remote to actually be configured, and not
fall back to the path "origin".
Possibly, the config file's "remote = something" should require the
something to be a configured remote instead of a bare repository URL,
but we actually test with a bare repository URL.
In fetch, we were giving the sensible error message when coming up
with a URL failed, but this wasn't actually reachable, so move that
error up and use it when appropriate.
In push, we need a new error message, because the old one (formerly
unreachable without a lot of help) used the repo name, which was NULL.

But this is currently shown in the dashed form. So if you just
copy what you see, it will not work, when the dashed form
is no longer supported.

This patch adds a remote.*.mirror configuration option that,
when set, automatically puts git-push in --mirror mode for that
remote.
Furthermore, the option is set automatically by `git remote
add --mirror'.
The code in remote.c to parse remote.*.skipdefaultupdate
had a subtle problem: a comment in the code indicated that
special care was needed for boolean options, but this care was
not used in parsing the option. Since I was touching related

When pushing a refspec like "HEAD", we used to treat it as
"HEAD:HEAD", which didn't work without rewriting. Instead, we should
resolve the ref. If it's a symref, further require it to point to a
branch, to avoid doing anything especially unexpected. Also remove the
rewriting previously added in builtin-push.
Since the code for "HEAD" uses the regular refspec parsing, it
automatically handles "+HEAD" without anything special.
[jc: added a further test to make sure that "remote.*.push = HEAD" works]

The existing message indicates that an error occured during
push, but it is unclear whether _any_ refs were actually
pushed (even though the status table above shows which were
pushed successfully and which were not, the message "failed
to push" implies a total failure). By indicating that "some
refs" failed, we hopefully indicate to the user that the
table above contains the details.
We could also put in an explicit "see above for details"
message, but it seemed to clutter the output quite a bit
(both on a line of its own, or at the end of the error line,
which inevitably wraps).
This could also be made more fancy if the transport
mechanism passed back more details on how many refs
succeeded and failed:
error: failed to push %d out of %d refs to '%s'

This teaches "push <remote> HEAD" to resolve HEAD on the local
side to its real branch name, e.g. master, and then act as if
the real branch name was specified. So we have a shorthand for
pushing the current branch. Besides HEAD, no other symbolic ref
is resolved.

this implementation, which is much simpler than the

The builtin-fetch topic changed push's handling of --all to setting

The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing
for new users, since it will push changes that are not on
the current branch. Publishing patches that were still
cooking on a development branch is hard to undo.
It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion
of refspecs if you've edited them, so that you know
what branches matched on the server.
Adding a --dry-run flag allows the user to experiment
safely and learn how to use git-push properly. Originally
suggested by Steffen Prohaska.

1) pushes happen less often than fetches, so the bandwidth saving is
much less visible in that case overall.
2) thin packs have to be complemented with missing delta bases to be
valid, so many received thin packs will take more disk space.
3) the bother of repacking should be distributed amongst "clients"
i.e. fetchers and pushers as much as possible, and not the server
being fetched or pushed, to keep disk and CPU usage low on the
server.
This is why a fetch should get thin packs but a push should not.
Both Nico and I have been assuming that --no-thin was the default
behavior of git-push ever since Nico introduced --fix-thin into the
index-pack process, which allowed fetch and receive-pack to avoid
exploding packfiles received during transfer. This patch finally
makes it so.

I am not sure how much this would have helped somebody who

This allows you to set up mothership-satellite configuration
more symmetrically and naturally by allowing the globbing
wildcard refspec for git-push. On your satellite machine:
[remote "mothership"]
url = mothership:project.git
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/mothership/*
push = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*
You would say "git fetch mothership" to update your tracking
branches under mothership/ to keep track of the progress on the
mothership side, and when you are done working on the satellite
machine, you would "git push mothership" to update their
tracking branches under satellite/. Corresponding configuration
on the mothership machine can be used to make "git fetch satellite"
update its tracking branch under satellite/. on the mothership.
