[PATCHv2 0/8] Improving the search for remote-tracking branches

Hi,

This is second iteration of this series. The initial three patches are unchanged, although the commit message of #3 has been rephrased based on Junio's comments.

Patches #4-#6 fixes existing tests in preparation for patch #7, which changes the validation of the remote-tracking branch passed to --track: We now require the --track argument to refer to a ref that matches a configured refspec - otherwise, we can not reliably deduce the upstream information to store into branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge.

Finally, patch #8 updates the paragraph on remote-tracking branches in the glossary to be somewhat closer to the current state of things.

Have fun! :)
