Hi,

Since I didn't explain the series properly last time: this series reduces the burden of the branches-file/remotes-file cruft. It does not argue for deprecation, because it is still useful to some people and harms nobody. It removes dead code, tests the feature properly, and doesn't mention it in obscure places.

In this iteration, [1/14] does a file-wide style cleanup (wasn't as painful as I thought). Also, one s/git config/test_config/ patch has been dropped because it adds no value. This time, I actually ran all the tests to make sure that I made no silly mistakes (there were quite a few last time).

Thanks to Junio and Eric Sunshine for reviews.
