[PATCH 2/7] t7900: Start testing usability of namespaced remote refs

From: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net>
Date: May 4, 2013, 23:55 UTC
Message-ID: <1367711749-8812-3-git-send-email-johan@herland.net>
In-Reply-To: <1367711749-8812-1-git-send-email-johan@herland.net>

Some users are interested in fetching remote refs into a separate namespace in the local repo. E.g. instead of the usual remote config:

  [remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = ...

they want to keep remote tags separate from local tags, and they may also want to fetch other ref types:

  [remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/heads/*
	fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/remotes/origin/tags/*
	fetch = +refs/notes/*:refs/remotes/origin/notes/*
	fetch = +refs/replace/*:refs/remotes/origin/replace/*
	tagopt = "--no-tags"
	url = ...

This configuration creates a separate namespace under refs/remotes/origin/* mirroring the structure of local refs (under refs/*) where all the relevant refs from the 'origin' remote can be found.

This patch introduces a test whose main purpose is to verify that git will work comfortably with this kind of setup. For now, we only verify that it is possible (though not exactly easy) to establish a clone with the above configuration, and that fetching into it yields the expected result.
