"help -a" (help all) gives the list of available commands and then
further gives hints on the use of "git help". Separate these into
two steps, because we will add "help -g" (help guides) that want to
also show the overall hints after it is done.
While at it, change the definition of the "-a" option to use OPT_BOOL,
not the deprecated OPT_BOOLEAN. We do not behave differently when
the user gives the "-a" option multiple times, e.g. "git help -a -a".

If we are trying to set the upstream config for a branch,
the create_branch function will check both that the name
resolves as a ref, and that it is either a local or
remote-tracking branch.
However, before we do so we run get_sha1 on it to find out
whether it resolves at all (since the create_branch function
is also used to create actual branches, it wants to know
where to start the new branch). This means that if you feed
a ref that does not exist to "branch --set-upstream-to",
rather than getting a helpful message about tracking, you
only get "not a valid object name".

Note that our tests expect failure when we try to set the
upstream to or from a missing branch. Technically we are
just munging config here, so we do not need the refs to
exist. But seeing that they do exist is a good check that
the user has not made a typo.

The first thing filter-branch does is to create a temporary
directory, either ".git-rewrite" in the current directory
(which may be the working tree or the repository if bare),
or in a directory specified by "-d". We then chdir to
$tempdir/t as our temporary working directory in which to run
tree filters.
After finishing the filter, we then attempt to go back to
the original directory with "cd ../..". This works in the
.git-rewrite case, but if "-d" is used, we end up in a
random directory. The only thing we do after this chdir is
to run git-read-tree, but that means that:
1. The working directory is not updated to reflect the
filtered history.
2. We dump random files into "$tempdir/.." (e.g., if you
use "-d /tmp/foo", we dump junk into /tmp).
Fix it by recording the full path to the original directory
and returning there explicitly.

This new configuration variable overrides `remote.pushdefault` and
`branch.<name>.remote` for pushes. When you pull from one
place (e.g. your upstream) and push to another place (e.g. your own
publishing repository), you would want to set `remote.pushdefault` to
specify the remote to push to for all branches, and use this option to
override it for a specific branch.

Currently, do_push() in push.c calls remote_get(), which gets the
configured remote for fetching and pushing. Replace this call with a
call to pushremote_get() instead, a new function that will return the
remote configured specifically for pushing. This function tries to
work with the string pushremote_name, before falling back to the
codepath of remote_get(). This patch has no visible impact, but
serves to enable future patches to introduce configuration variables
to set pushremote_name. For example, you can now do the following in
handle_config():
if (!strcmp(key, "remote.pushdefault"))
git_config_string(&pushremote_name, key, value);
Then, pushes will automatically go to the remote specified by
remote.pushdefault.

Many of the tests in t5516 look like:
mk_empty &&
git push testrepo ... &&
check_push_result $commit heads/master
It's reasonably easy to see what is being tested, with the
exception that "testrepo" is a magic global name (it is
implicitly used in the helpers, but we have to name it
explicitly when calling git directly). Let's make it
explicit when call the helpers, too. This is slightly more
typing, but makes the test snippets read more naturally.
It also makes it easy for future tests to use an alternate
or multiple repositories, without a proliferation of helper
functions.

The old version could be read to mean that the argument has to refer
to a valid object, but that is incorrect:
* the object is not necessarily read (e.g., to check for corruption)
* if the argument is a 40-digit string of hex digits, then it is
accepted whether or not is is the name of an existing object.
So reword the explanation to be less ambiguous.
Also fix the examples involving --verify: to be sure that the argument
refers to a commit (rather than some other kind of object), the
argument has to be suffixed with "^{commit}". This trick is not
possible in the example involving --default, so don't imply that it is
exactly the same as the previous example.

The output of "git submodule deinit sub" of a populated submodule prints
rm 'sub'
as the first line unless used with the -f option.
The "rm 'sub'" line is exactly the same output the user gets when using
"git rm sub" (because that command is used with the --dry-run option under
the hood to determine if the submodule is clean), which can easily lead to
the false impression that the submodule would be permanently removed. Also
users might be confused that the "rm 'submodule'" line won't show up when
the -f option is used, as the test is skipped in this case.
Silence the "rm 'submodule'" output by using the --quiet option for "git
rm" and always print
Cleared directory 'submodule'
instead as the first output line. This line is printed as long as the
directory exists, no matter if empty or not.
Also extend the tests in t7400 to make sure the "Cleared directory" line
is printed correctly.
