Due to limitations in the current implementation, some configuration
variables specified via 'git clone -c var=val' (or 'git -c var=val
clone') are ignored during the initial fetch and checkout.
Let the users know which configuration variables are known to be
ignored ('remote.origin.mirror' and 'remote.origin.tagOpt') under the
documentation of 'git clone -c', along with hints to use the options
'--mirror' and '--no-tags' instead.

The initial fetch during a clone doesn't transfer refs matching
additional fetch refspecs given on the command line as configuration
variables, e.g. '-c remote.origin.fetch=<refspec>'. This contradicts
the documentation stating that configuration variables specified via
'git clone -c <key>=<value> ...' "take effect immediately after the
repository is initialized, but before the remote history is fetched"
and the given example specifically mentions "adding additional fetch
refspecs to the origin remote". Furthermore, one-shot configuration
variables specified via 'git -c <key>=<value> clone ...', though not
written to the newly created repository's config file, live during the
lifetime of the 'clone' command, including the initial fetch. All
this implies that any fetch refspecs specified this way should already
be taken into account during the initial fetch.
The reason for this is that the initial fetch is not a fully fledged
'git fetch' but a bunch of direct calls into the fetch/transport
machinery with clone's own refs-to-refspec matching logic, which
bypasses parts of 'git fetch' processing configured fetch refspecs.
This logic only considers a single default refspec, potentially
influenced by options like '--single-branch' and '--mirror'. The
configured refspecs are, however, already read and parsed properly
when clone calls remote.c:remote_get(), but it never looks at the
parsed refspecs in the resulting 'struct remote'.
Modify clone to take the remote's configured fetch refspecs into
account to retrieve all matching refs during the initial fetch. Note
that we have to explicitly add the default fetch refspec to the
remote's refspecs, because at that point the remote only includes the
fetch refspecs specified on the command line.
Add tests to check that refspecs given both via 'git clone -c ...' and
'git -c ... clone' retrieve all refs matching either the default or
the additional refspecs, and that it works even when the user
specifies an alternative remote name via '--origin=<name>'.

cmd_clone() declares two strbufs 'key' and 'value' on the same line,
suggesting that they are used to contruct a config variable's name and
value. However, this is not the case: 'key' is used to construct the
names of multiple config variables, while 'value' is never used as a
value for any of those config variables, or for any other config
variable for that matter, but only to contruct the default fetch
refspec.
Let's rename 'value' to 'default_refspec' to make the intent clearer.

It is a good idea to error out early upon seeing, say, `-Cbad`, rather
than starting the rebase only to have the `--am` backend complain later.
Let's do this.
The only options accepting parameters which we pass through to `git am`
(which may, or may not, forward them to `git apply`) are `-C` and
`--whitespace`. The other options we pass through do not accept
parameters, so we do not have to validate them here.

Currently, we parse the options intended for `git am` as if we wanted to
handle them in `git rebase`, and then reconstruct them painstakingly to
define the `git_am_opt` variable.
However, there is a much better way (that I was unaware of, at the time
when I mentored Pratik to implement these options): OPT_PASSTHRU_ARGV.
It is intended for exactly this use case, where command-line options
want to be parsed into a separate `argv_array`.
Let's use this feature.
Incidentally, this also allows us to address a bug discovered by Phillip
Wood, where the built-in rebase failed to understand that the `-C`
option takes an optional argument.

Now with advice.pushUnqualifiedRefName=true (on by default) we show a

error: The destination you provided is not a full refname (i.e.,
starting with "refs/"). We tried to guess what you meant by:
- Looking for a ref that matches 'newbranch' on the remote side.
- Checking if the <src> being pushed ('v2.19.0^{commit}')
is a ref in "refs/{heads,tags}/". If so we add a corresponding
refs/{heads,tags}/ prefix on the remote side.
Neither worked, so we gave up. You must fully qualify the ref.
hint: The <src> part of the refspec is a commit object.
hint: Did you mean to create a new branch by pushing to
hint: 'v2.19.0^{commit}:refs/heads/newbranch'?
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:avar/git.git'
When trying to push a tag, tree or a blob we suggest that perhaps the
user meant to push them to refs/tags/ instead.

Improve the error message added in f8aae12034 ("push: allow
unqualified dest refspecs to DWIM", 2008-04-23), which before this
change looks like this:
$ git push avar v2.19.0^{commit}:newbranch -n
error: unable to push to unqualified destination: newbranch
The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor
begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref.
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:avar/git.git'
This message needed to be read very carefully to spot how to fix the
error, i.e. to push to refs/heads/newbranch. Now the message will look
like this instead:
$ ./git-push avar v2.19.0^{commit}:newbranch -n
error: The destination you provided is not a full refname (i.e.,
starting with "refs/"). We tried to guess what you meant by:
- Looking for a ref that matches 'newbranch' on the remote side.
- Checking if the <src> being pushed ('v2.19.0^{commit}')
is a ref in "refs/{heads,tags}/". If so we add a corresponding
refs/{heads,tags}/ prefix on the remote side.
Neither worked, so we gave up. You must fully qualify the ref.
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:avar/git.git'
This improvement is the result of on-list discussion in [1] and [2],
as well as my own fixes / reformatting / phrasing on top.
The suggestion by Jeff on-list was to make that second bullet point
"Looking at the refname of the local source.". The version being added
here is more verbose, but also more accurate. saying "local source"
could refer to any ref in the local refstore, including something in
refs/remotes/*. A later change will teach guess_ref() to infer a ref
type from remote-tracking refs, so let's not confuse the two.
While I'm at it, add a "TRANSLATORS" comment since the message has
gotten more complex and it's not as clear what the two %s's refer to.

Make the behavior when diff options (e.g. "--stat") are passed
consistent with how "diff" behaves.
Before 73a834e9e2 ("range-diff: relieve callers of low-level
configuration burden", 2018-07-22) running range-diff with "--stat"
would produce stat output and the diff output, as opposed to how
"diff" behaves where once "--stat" is specified "--patch" also needs
to be provided to emit the patch output.
As noted in a previous change ("range-diff doc: add a section about
output stability", 2018-11-07) the "--stat" output with "range-diff"
is useless at the moment.
But we should behave consistently with "diff" in anticipation of such
output being useful in the future, because it would make for confusing
UI if "diff" and "range-diff" behaved differently when it came to how
they interpret diff options.
The new behavior is also consistent with the existing documentation
added in ba931edd28 ("range-diff: populate the man page",
2018-08-13). See "[...]also accepts the regular diff options[...]" in
git-range-diff(1).

When checkout dwim is added in [1], it is restricted to only dwim when
certain conditions are met and fall back to default checkout behavior
otherwise. It turns out falling back could be confusing. One of the
conditions to turn
git checkout frotz
to
git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz
is that frotz must not exist as a file. But when the user comes to
expect "git checkout frotz" to create the branch "frotz" and there
happens to be a file named "frotz", git's silently reverting "frotz"
file content is not helping. This is reported in Git mailing list [2]
and even used as an example of "Git is bad" elsewhere [3].
We normally try to do the right thing, but when there are multiple
"right things" to do, it's best to leave it to the user to decide.
Check this case, ask the user to to disambiguate:
- "git checkout -- foo" will check out path "foo"
- "git checkout foo --" will dwim and create branch "foo" [4]
For users who do not want dwim, use --no-guess. It's useless in this
particular case because "git checkout --no-guess foo --" will just
fail. But it could be used by scripts.
