When we create each branch struct, we fill in the
"remote_name" field from the config, and then fill in the
actual "remote" field (with a "struct remote") based on that
name. However, it turns out that nobody really cares about
the latter field. The only two sites that access it at all
are:
1. git-merge, which uses it to notice when the branch does
not have a remote defined. But we can easily replace this
with looking at remote_name instead.
2. remote.c itself, when setting up the @{upstream} merge
config. But we don't need to save the "remote" in the
"struct branch" for that; we can just look it up for
the duration of the operation.
So there is no need to have both fields; they are redundant
with each other (the struct remote contains the name, or you
can look up the struct from the name). It would be nice to
simplify this, especially as we are going to add matching
pushremote config in a future patch (and it would be nice to
keep them consistent).
So which one do we keep and which one do we get rid of?
If we had a lot of callers accessing the struct, it would be
more efficient to keep it (since you have to do a lookup to
go from the name to the struct, but not vice versa). But we
don't have a lot of callers; we have exactly one, so
efficiency doesn't matter. We can decide this based on
simplicity and readability.
And the meaning of the struct value is somewhat unclear. Is
it always the remote matching remote_name? If remote_name is
NULL (i.e., no per-branch config), does the struct fall back
to the "origin" remote, or is it also NULL? These questions
will get even more tricky with pushremotes, whose fallback
behavior is more complicated. So let's just store the name,
which pretty clearly represents the branch.*.remote config.
Any lookup or fallback behavior can then be implemented in
helper functions.

When we call branch_get() to lookup or create a "struct
branch", we make sure the "merge" field is filled in so that
callers can access it. But the conditions under which we do
so are a little confusing, and can lead to two funny
situations:
1. If there's no branch.*.remote config, we cannot provide
branch->merge (because it is really just an application
of branch.*.merge to our remote's refspecs). But
branch->merge_nr may be non-zero, leading callers to be
believe they can access branch->merge (e.g., in
branch_merge_matches and elsewhere).
It doesn't look like this can cause a segfault in
practice, as most code paths dealing with merge config
will bail early if there is no remote defined. But it's
a bit of a dangerous construct.
We can fix this by setting merge_nr to "0" explicitly
when we realize that we have no merge config. Note that
merge_nr also counts the "merge_name" fields (which we
_do_ have; that's how merge_nr got incremented), so we
will "lose" access to them, in the sense that we forget
how many we had. But no callers actually care; we use
merge_name only while iteratively reading the config,
and then convert it to the final "merge" form the first
time somebody calls branch_get().
2. We set up the "merge" field every time branch_get is
called, even if it has already been done. This leaks
memory.
It's not a big deal in practice, since most code paths
will access only one branch, or perhaps each branch
only one time. But if you want to be pathological, you
can leak arbitrary memory with:
yes @{upstream} | head -1000 | git rev-list --stdin
We can fix this by skipping setup when branch->merge is
already non-NULL.
In addition to those two fixes, this patch pushes the "do we
need to setup merge?" logic down into set_merge, where it is
a bit easier to follow.

When we read the remote config from disk, we update a
default_remote_name variable if we see branch.*.remote
config for the current branch. This isn't wrong, or even all
that complicated, but it is a bit simpler (because it
reduces our overall state) to just lazily compute the
default when we need it.
The ulterior motive here is that the push config uses a
similar structure, and _is_ much more complicated as a
result. That will be simplified in a future patch, and it's
more readable if the logic for remotes and push-remotes
matches.
Note that we also used default_remote_name as a signal that
the remote config has been loaded; after this patch, we now
use an explicit flag.

The run-command interface was easy to abuse and make a pipe for us
to read from the process, wait for the process to finish and then
attempt to read its output, which is a pattern that lead to a

finish) and also add code to prevent such abuse in the run-command
helper.

The idea of this helper is that we want to save the current
value of a config variable and then restore it again after
the test completes. However, there's no point in actually
saving the value; it should always be restored to the string
"never" (which you can confirm by instrumenting
save_confirm to print the value it finds).
Let's just replace it with a single test_when_finished call.

Since shell loops may drop the exit code of failed commands
inside the loop, some tests try to keep track of the status
by setting a variable. This can end up cumbersome and hard
to read; it is much simpler to just exit directly from the
loop using "return 1" (since each case is either in a helper
function or inside a test snippet).

These are all cases where we do a setup step of the form:
for i in $foo; do
set_up $i || break
done &&
more_setup
would not notice a failure in set_up (because break always
returns a 0 exit code). These are just setup steps that we
do not expect to fail, but it does not hurt to be defensive.
Most can be fixed by converting the "break" to a "return 1"
(since we eval our tests inside a function for just this
purpose). A few of the loops are inside subshells, so we can
use just "exit 1" to break out of the subshell. And a few
can actually be made shorter by just unrolling the loop.

When checking a list of file mtimes, we use a loop and break
out early from the loop if any entry does not match.
However, the exit code of a loop exited via break is always
0, meaning that the test will fail to notice we had a
mismatch. Since the loop is inside a function, we can fix
this by doing an early "return 1".

When we test deleting notes, we run "git notes remove" in a
loop. However, the exit value of the loop will only reflect
the final note we process. We should break out of the loop
with a failing exit code as soon as we see a problem.
Note that we can call "exit 1" here without explicitly
creating a subshell, because the while loop on the
right-hand side of a pipe executes in its own implicit
subshell.
Note also that the "break" above does not suffer the same
problem; it is meant to exit the loop early at a certain
number of iterations. We can bump it into the conditional of
the loop to make this more obvious.

A loop like:
for f in one two; do
something $f ||
break
done
will correctly break out of the loop when we see a failure
of one item, but the resulting exit code will always be
zero. We can fix that by putting the loop into a function or
subshell, but in this case it is simpler still to just
unroll the loop. We do add a helper function, which
hopefully makes the end result even more readable (in
addition to being shorter).

When copying the test repository, we try to detect whether
the copy succeeded. However, most of the heavy lifting is
done inside a for loop, where our "break" will lose the exit
code of the failing "cp". We can take advantage of the fact
that we are in a subshell, and just "exit 1" to break out
with a code.

The expected call sequence is for the caller to use match_pathspec()
repeatedly on a set of pathspecs, accumulating the "hits" in a
separate array, and then call this function to diagnose a pathspec
that never matched anything, as that can indicate a typo from the
command line, e.g. "git commit Maekfile".
Many builtin commands use this function from builtin/ls-files.c,
which is not a very healthy arrangement. ls-files might have been
the first command to feel the need for such a helper, but the need
is shared by everybody who uses the "match and then report" pattern.
Move it to dir.c where match_pathspec() is defined.
