The '--set-upstream' option of branch was deprecated in,
b347d06bf branch: deprecate --set-upstream and show help if we
detect possible mistaken use (Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:23:13 +0200)
In order to prevent "--set-upstream" on a command line from being taken as
an abbreviated form of "--set-upstream-to", explicitly catch "--set-upstream"
option and die, instead of just removing it from the list of options.
The option is planned to be removed after this change has been around for a few
years.
The before/after behaviour for a simple case follows,
$ git remote
origin
Before,
$ git branch
* master
$ git branch --set-upstream origin/master
The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using --track or --set-upstream-to
Branch origin/master set up to track local branch master.
$ echo $?
0
$ git branch
* master
origin/master
After,
$ git branch
* master
$ git branch --set-upstream origin/master
fatal: the '--set-upstream' option is no longer supported. Please use '--track' or '--set-upstream-to' instead.
$ echo $?
128
$ git branch
* master

Changes in v4:
- made a few changes suggested by Martin
- hid the '--set-upstream' option from 'git branch -h' as suggested by Junio
- updated commit message as suggested by Junio
- updated error message (this should have been in v3 but somehow got skipped)
Note: I'm not using the word 'removed' in the error messages or in the documentation as
I feel it counter-intuitive from the end user's perspective because
* 'git branch' still accepts the option in the command line
* The option has not yet been removed from the synopsis of the documentation and I think
we can't remove it from the 'Synopsis' porion of the documentation as it doesn't make
sense (at least to me) to give a description of an option not listed in the synopsis.
Moreover, we have to state the reason for not supporting it in some place.
I guess the phrase 'no longer supported' is equally communicative. Let me know if that was not
a right decision.
