Current Issues #3

[Third installment of the "Issues" series, but I've been half
 awake for the past week or so, and I suspect I have missed some
 topics that deserve further discussion.]

* Per branch configuration

  The [section "foo"] configuration syntax update by Linus, and
  git-parse-remote update to use remote.stuff.{url,push,pull} by
  Johannes are now both in the "master".  The stage is set to
  discuss what to actually do with per-branch configuration.

  We will use the [branch "foo"] section for configuration about
  local branch named "foo".  I do not think there is any
  disagreement about this.

  The ideas floated so far (I am forgetting many of them
  perhaps):

    1. "upstream" refers to the remote section to use when
       running "git-{fetch,pull,push}" while on that branch.

	[branch "master"]
		upstream = "origin"

	[remote "origin"]
        	url = "git://git.kernel.org/.../git.git"
		fetch = refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

    2. "url/fetch/push" directly specifies what would usually be
       taken from a remote section by "git-{fetch,pull,push}"
       while on that branch.

	[branch "foo"]
        	url = "company.com.xz:myrepo"
		fetch = refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
		push = refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin

* reflog

  I still haven't merged this series to "next" -- I do not have
  much against what the code does, but I am unconvinced if it is
  useful.  Also objections raised on the list that this can be
  replaced by making sure that a repository that has hundreds of
  tags usable certainly have a point.
