Subject: [PATCHv4 1/2] clone: respect additional configured fetch refspecs during initial fetch

From: SZEDER Gábor <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 30 May 2017 09:12:43 +0200

The initial fetch during a clone doesn't transfer refs matching
additional fetch refspecs given on the command line as configuration
variables.  This contradicts the documentation stating that
configuration variables specified via 'git clone -c <key>=<value> ...'
"take effect immediately after the repository is initialized, but
before the remote history is fetched" and the given example
specifically mentions "adding additional fetch refspecs to the origin
remote".  Furthermore, one-shot configuration variables specified via
'git -c <key>=<value> clone ...', though not written to the newly
created repository's config file, live during the lifetime of the
'clone' command, including the initial fetch.  All this implies that
any fetch refspecs specified this way should already be taken into
account during the initial fetch.

The reason for this is that the initial fetch is not a fully fledged
'git fetch' but a bunch of direct calls into the fetch/transport
machinery with clone's own refs-to-refspec matching logic, which
bypasses parts of 'git fetch' processing configured fetch refspecs.
This logic only considers a single default refspec, potentially
influenced by options like '--single-branch' and '--mirror'.  The
configured refspecs are, however, already read and parsed properly
when clone calls remote.c:remote_get(), but it never looks at the
parsed refspecs in the resulting 'struct remote'.

Modify clone to take the configured fetch refspecs into account to
retrieve all matching refs during the initial fetch.  Note that the
configuration at that point only includes the fetch refspecs specified
by the user, but it doesn't include the default fetch refspec.  Add a
function to the remote API which encapsulates adding a fetch refspec
to a 'struct remote' and parsing it, including all the necessary
memory management housekeeping as well.  Use this new function to add
clone's default fetch refspec to the other refspecs the user might
have specified.

Add tests to check that refspecs given both via 'git clone -c ...' and
'git -c ... clone' retrieve all refs matching either the default or
the additional refspecs, and that it works even when the user
specifies an alternative remote name via '--origin=<name>'.
