This second series is gets rid of the most annoying part
(IMHO) of push.default = tracking, i.e. the fact that its
behavior cannot be achieved using git's ordinary tools.
While autosetuppush is enough to set the refspecs correctly,
push.tracking does not push _all_ tracked branches, but
only the current one (because it implicitly adds only
one refspec, while autosetuppush places them all in the
configuration).
What I introduce here is "git push --current" and a companion
remote.*.pushHeadOnly option to make it the default. The
difference between "git push HEAD" and "git push --current"
is that the latter will still walk the remote.*.push refspecs,
but honor only the one matching HEAD.
Together with autosetuppush, this more or less achieves the
same result as push.tracking, at least for newly created
remotes. A subsequent series will handle the transition.
v2 integrates changes from Nanako's review. Patch 1 is new
and partially reverts bba0fd2 (push: do not give big warning
when no preference is configured, 2009-07-18). Patch 2 is the
meat of the implementation. Most of it actually touches the
transport mechanism, not builtin-push.c (which covers only
one detail about how to handle "git push --current" when
the remote does not have a corresponding push refspec).
Patch 3 adds remote.*.pushHeadOnly.
Paolo Bonzini (3):
reintroduce PUSH_DEFAULT_UNSPECIFIED
push: add --current
push: add remote.*.pushHeadOnly configuration
