[PATCH 0/4] Support triangular workflows

Hi,

This series follows up a previous discussion with Junio and Jeff [1]. It attempts to support the triangular workflow, where the remote you're fetching from is not the same as the remote you're pushing to. `remote.<name>.pushurl` has already been discussed, and deemed as a poor solution to the problem [2].

[1/4] is a minor cleanup patch to make other patches consistent with the existing style.

[2/4] introduces the infrastructure needed to allow [3/4] and [4/4] to be simple configuration-adding patches.

[3/4] and [4/4] add the proposed configuration options. They're very simple patches, but the documentation is not so simple: I've documented all the side-effects of the other configuration option in each configuration option, to give the reader a comprehensive picture when reading one configuration option.

I've put off implementing remote.default corresponding to remote.pushdefault, as Jeff suggested in [1], because it's currently not an itch; apart from the obvious symmetry, I don't know what purpose it serves: why would anyone want to fetch from a remote other than origin by default? Why wouldn't they simply swap that remote's name with "origin"? However, it's a nice thing to have for symmetry, and it should be trivial to implement: any interested person is welcome to pick it up.

The series works as expected, and all tests pass.

Thanks for reading.
