[PATCH v3 0/7] clone: allow configurable default for -o/--origin

v3 (changes since v2):

 * [5/7] fix compilation error: validate option_origin since remote_name
   doesn't exist yet
 * [7/7] remove default_remote_name; apply default value inline if no other
   value applied

v2 (changes since v1):

 * Convert Thanks-to trailer to Helped-by
 * Rewrite several commit titles and messages
 * Unify error reporting between clone.c and remote.c
 * Add tests for git remote add and git remote rename with invalid remote
   names
 * Prevent leak of old remote_name

v1: Took another pass at supporting a configurable default for-o/--origin, this time following Junio's suggestions from a previous approach as much as possible [1]. Unfortunately, Johannes mentioned that --template can write new config values that aren't automatically merged without re-calling git_config. There doesn't appear to be a way around this without rewriting significant amounts of init and config logic across the codebase.

While this could have been v2 of the original patchset, it's diverged so drastically from the original that it likely warrants its own root thread. If that's not appropriate though, I'd be happy to restructure!

Thanks for all the advice Junio and Johannes! This feels significantly better than my first attempt.

Sean Barag (7):
  clone: add tests for --template and some disallowed option pairs
  clone: use more conventional config/option layering
  remote: add tests for add and rename with invalid names
  refs: consolidate remote name validation
  clone: validate --origin option before use
  clone: read new remote name from remote_name instead of option_origin
  clone: allow configurable default for `-o`/`--origin`
