When we try to unset upstream configurations we do not check
return codes for the `git_config_set` functions. As those may
indicate that we were unable to unset the respective
configuration we may exit successfully without any error message
while in fact the upstream configuration was not unset.
Fix this by dying with an error message when we cannot unset the

The internal stripspace() function has been moved to where it
logically belongs to, i.e. strbuf API, and the command line parser
of "git stripspace" has been updated to use the parse_options API.
* tk/stripspace:
stripspace: use parse-options for command-line parsing
strbuf: make stripspace() part of strbuf
This function is also used in other builtins than stripspace, so it
makes sense to have it in a more generic place. Since it operates
on an strbuf and the function is declared in strbuf.h, move it to
strbuf.c and add the corresponding prefix to its name, just like
other API functions in the strbuf_* family.
Also switch all current users of stripspace() to the new function
name and keep a temporary wrapper inline function for any topic
branches still using stripspace().

Make 'branch.c' use 'ref-filter' APIs for iterating through refs
sorting. This removes most of the code used in 'branch.c' replacing it
with calls to the 'ref-filter' library.
Make 'branch.c' use the 'filter_refs()' function provided by 'ref-filter'
to filter out tags based on the options set.
We provide a sorting option provided for 'branch.c' by using the
sorting options provided by 'ref-filter'. Also by default, we sort by
'refname'. Since 'HEAD' is alphabatically before 'refs/...' we end up
with an array consisting of the 'HEAD' ref then the local branches and
finally the remote-tracking branches.
Also remove the 'ignore' variable from ref_array_item as it was
previously used for the '--merged' option and now that is handled by
ref-filter.
Modify some of the tests in t1430 to check the stderr for a warning
regarding the broken ref. This is done as ref-filter throws a warning
for broken refs rather than directly printing them.

The ref_transaction_update() family of functions use the following
convention for their old_sha1 parameters:
* old_sha1 == NULL: Don't check the old value at all.
* is_null_sha1(old_sha1): Ensure that the reference didn't exist
before the transaction.
* otherwise: Ensure that the reference had the specified value before
the transaction.
delete_ref() had a different convention, namely treating
is_null_sha1(old_sha1) as "don't care". Change it to adhere to the
standard convention to reduce the scope for confusion.
Please note that it is now a bug to pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to
delete_ref() (because it doesn't make sense to delete a reference that
you already know doesn't exist). This is consistent with the behavior
of ref_transaction_delete().
Most of the callers of delete_ref() never pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to
delete_ref(), and are therefore unaffected by this change. The
two exceptions are:
* The call in cmd_update_ref(), which passed NULL_SHA1 if the old
value passed in on the command line was 0{40} or the empty string.
Change that caller to pass NULL in those cases.
Arguably, it should be an error to call "update-ref -d" with the old
value set to "does not exist", just as it is for the `--stdin`
command "delete". But since this usage was accepted until now,
continue to accept it.
* The call in delete_branches(), which could pass NULL_SHA1 if
deleting a broken or symbolic ref. Change it to pass NULL in these
cases.

Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid"
parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1".
To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap
old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called
"each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new
interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be
wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be
used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter().
This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple,
mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref"
family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be
rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

Error messages from "git branch" called remote-tracking branches as
"remote branches".
* dl/branch-error-message:
branch: do not call a "remote-tracking branch" a "remote branch"
After calling stat_tracking_info, callers often want to
print the name of the upstream branch (in addition to the
tracking count). To do this, they have to access
branch->merge->dst[0] themselves. This is not wrong, as the
return value from stat_tracking_info tells us whether we
have an upstream branch or not. But it is a bit leaky, as we
make an assumption about how it calculated the upstream
name.
Instead, let's add an out-parameter that lets the caller
know the upstream name we found.
As a bonus, we can get rid of the unusual tri-state return
from the function. We no longer need to use it to
differentiate between "no tracking config" and "tracking ref
does not exist" (since you can check the upstream_name for
that), so we can just use the usual 0/-1 convention for
success/error.

rename_ref: don't ask read_ref_full where the ref came from
refs.c: pass the ref log message to _create/delete/update instead of _commit
...
We currently do not handle badly named refs well:
$ cp .git/refs/heads/master .git/refs/heads/master.....@\*@\\.
$ git branch
fatal: Reference has invalid format: 'refs/heads/master.....@*@\.'
$ git branch -D master.....@\*@\\.
error: branch 'master.....@*@\.' not found.
Users cannot recover from a badly named ref without manually finding
and deleting the loose ref file or appropriate line in packed-refs.
Making that easier will make it easier to tweak the ref naming rules
in the future, for example to forbid shell metacharacters like '`'
and '"', without putting people in a state that is hard to get out of.
So allow "branch --list" to show these refs and allow "branch -d/-D"
and "update-ref -d" to delete them. Other commands (for example to
rename refs) will continue to not handle these refs but can be changed
in later patches.
Details:
In resolving functions, refuse to resolve refs that don't pass the
git-check-ref-format(1) check unless the new RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME
flag is passed. Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, refuse to
resolve refs that escape the refs/ directory and do not match the
pattern [A-Z_]* (think "HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD").
In locking functions, refuse to act on badly named refs unless they
are being deleted and either are in the refs/ directory or match [A-Z_]*.
Just like other invalid refs, flag resolved, badly named refs with the
REF_ISBROKEN flag, treat them as resolving to null_sha1, and skip them
in all iteration functions except for for_each_rawref.
Flag badly named refs (but not symrefs pointing to badly named refs)
with a REF_BAD_NAME flag to make it easier for future callers to
notice and handle them specially. For example, in a later patch
for-each-ref will use this flag to detect refs whose names can confuse
callers parsing for-each-ref output.
In the transaction API, refuse to create or update badly named refs,
but allow deleting them (unless they try to escape refs/ and don't match
[A-Z_]*).

When "git branch -d" reads the branch it is about to delete, it used
to avoid passing the RESOLVE_REF_READING ('treat missing ref as
error') flag because a symref pointing to a nonexistent ref would show
up as missing instead of as something that could be deleted. To check
if a ref is actually missing, we then check
- is it a symref?
- if not, did it resolve to null_sha1?
Now we pass RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE and the correct information is
returned for a symref even when it points to a missing ref. Simplify
by relying on RESOLVE_REF_READING.

If a repository gets in a broken state with too much symref nesting,
it cannot be repaired with "git branch -d":
$ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/nonsense refs/heads/nonsense
$ git branch -d nonsense
error: branch 'nonsense' not found.
Worse, "git update-ref --no-deref -d" doesn't work for such repairs
either:
$ git update-ref -d refs/heads/nonsense
error: unable to resolve reference refs/heads/nonsense: Too many levels of symbolic links
Fix both by teaching resolve_ref_unsafe a new RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
flag and passing it when appropriate.
Callers can still read the value of a symref (for example to print a
message about it) with that flag set --- resolve_ref_unsafe will
resolve one level of symrefs and stop there.

resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref
resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be
a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when
we want this behaviour.
While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output
arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can
catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited.
Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same
treatment for consistency.

Originally the color-parsing function was used only for
config variables. It made sense to pass the variable name so
that the die() message could be something like:
$ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch
fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'color.branch.plain'
These days we call it in other contexts, and the resulting
error messages are a little confusing:
$ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'
fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable '--pretty format'
$ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus
fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'command line'
This patch teaches color_parse to complain only about the
value, and then return an error code. Config callers can
then propagate that up to the config parser, which mentions
the variable name. Other callers can provide a custom
message. After this patch these three cases now look like:
$ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch
error: invalid color value: bogus
fatal: unable to parse 'color.branch.plain' from command-line config
$ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'
error: invalid color value: bogus
fatal: unable to parse --pretty format
$ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus
error: invalid color value: bogus
fatal: unable to parse default color value

Many config-parsing helpers, like parse_branch_color_slot,
take the name of a config variable and an offset to the
"slot" name (e.g., "color.branch.plain" is passed along with
"13" to effectively pass "plain"). This is leftover from the
time that these functions would die() on error, and would
want the full variable name for error reporting.
These days they do not use the full variable name at all.
Passing a single pointer to the slot name is more natural,
and lets us more easily adjust the callers to use skip_prefix
to avoid manually writing offset numbers.
This is effectively a continuation of 9e1a5eb, which did the
same for parse_diff_color_slot. This patch covers all of the
remaining similar constructs.
