Anyplace we talk about the address of a remote repository we always
refer to it as a URL, especially in the configuration file and
.git/remotes where we call it "remote.$n.url" or start the first
line with "URL:". Calling this value a uri within the internal C
code just doesn't jive well with our commonly accepted terms.

If a transport doesn't support an option we already are telling
the higher level application (fetch or push) that the option is not
valid by sending back a >0 return value from transport_set_option
so there's not a strong motivation to have the function perform the
output itself. Instead we should let the higher level application
do the output if it is necessary. This avoids always telling the
user that depth isn't supported on HTTP urls even when they did
not pass a --depth option to git-fetch.
If the user passes an option and the option value is invalid we now
properly die in git-fetch instead of just spitting out a message
and running anyway. This mimics prior behavior better where
incorrect/malformed options are not accepted by the process.

My prior bug fix for git-push titled "Don't configure remote "." to
fetch everything to itself" actually broke t5520 as we were unable
to evaluate a branch configuration of:
[branch "copy"]
remote = .
merge = refs/heads/master
as remote "." did not have a "remote...fetch" configuration entry to
offer up refs/heads/master as a possible candidate available to be
fetched and merged. In shell script git-fetch and prior to the above
mentioned commit this was hardcoded for a url of "." to be the set of
local branches.
Chasing down this bug led me to the conclusion that our prior behavior
with regards to branch.$name.merge was incorrect. In the shell script
based git-fetch implementation we only fetched and merged a branch if
it appeared both in branch.$name.merge *and* in remote.$r.fetch, where
$r = branch.$name.remote. In other words in the following config file:
[remote "origin"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
fetch = refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "pu"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/pu
Attempting to run `git pull` while on branch "pu" would always give
the user "Already up-to-date" as git-fetch did not fetch pu and thus
did not mark it for merge in .git/FETCH_HEAD. The configured merge
would always be ignored and the user would be left scratching her
confused head wondering why merge did not work on "pu" but worked
fine on "master".
If we are using the "default fetch" specification for the current
branch and the current branch has a branch.$name.merge configured
we now union it with the list of refs in remote.$r.fetch. This
way the above configuration does what the user expects it to do,
which is to fetch only "master" by default but when on "pu" to
fetch both "master" and "pu".
This uncovered some breakage in the test suite where old-style Cogito
branches (.git/branches/$r) did not fetch the branches listed in
.git/config for merging and thus did not actually merge them if the
user tried to use `git pull` on that branch. Junio and I discussed
it on list and felt that the union approach here makes more sense to
DWIM for the end-user than silently ignoring their configured request
so the test vectors for t5515 have been updated to include for-merge
lines in .git/FETCH_HEAD where they have been configured for-merge
in .git/config.
Since we are now performing a union of the fetch specification and
the merge specification and we cannot allow a branch to be listed
twice (otherwise it comes out twice in .git/FETCH_HEAD) we need to
perform a double loop here over all of the branch.$name.merge lines
and try to set their merge flag if we have already schedule that
branch for fetching by remote.$r.fetch. If no match is found then
we must add new specifications to fetch the branch but not store it
as no local tracking branch has been designated.

If we are running fetch in a repository that has a detached HEAD
then there is no current_branch available. In such a case any ref
that the fetch might update by definition cannot also be the current
branch so we should always bypass the "don't update HEAD" test.

We don't actually need to know at the time of transport_get if the
caller wants to fetch, push, or do both on the returned object.
It is easier to just delay the initialization of the HTTP walker
until we know we will need it by providing a CURL specific fetch
function in the curl_transport that makes sure the walker instance
is initialized before use.

If we are using a native transport and the transport chose to
save the packfile it may have created a .keep file to protect
the packfile from a concurrently running git-repack process.
In such a case the git-fetch process should make sure it will
unlink the .keep file even if it fails to update any refs as
otherwise the newly downloaded packfile's diskspace will never
be reclaimed if the objects are not actually referenced.

If we are using a native packfile to perform a git-fetch invocation
and the received packfile contained more than the configured limits
of fetch.unpackLimit/transfer.unpackLimit then index-pack will output
a single line saying "keep\t$sha1\n" to stdout. This line needs to
be captured and retained so we can delete the corresponding .keep
file ("$GIT_DIR/objects/pack/pack-$sha1.keep") once all refs have
been safely updated.
This trick has long been in use with git-fetch.sh and its lower level
helper git-fetch--tool as a way to allow index-pack to save the new
packfile before the refs have been updated and yet avoid a race with
any concurrently running git-repack process. It was unfortunately
lost when git-fetch.sh was converted to pure C and fetch--tool was
no longer being invoked.

Commit walkers need to know the SHA-1 name of any objects they
have been asked to fetch while the native pack transport only
wants to know the names of the remote refs as the remote side
must do the name->SHA-1 translation.
Since we only have three fetch implementations and one of them
(bundle) doesn't even need the name information we can reduce
the code required to perform a fetch by having just one function
and passing of the filtered list of refs to be fetched. Each
transport can then obtain the information it needs from that ref
array to construct its own internal operation state.

The older git-fetch client did not produce all of this debugging

If we are fetching to a local reference (the so called peer_ref) and
the refspec that created this ref/peer_ref association had started
with '+' we are supposed to allow a non-fast-forward update during
fetch, even if --force was not supplied on the command line. The
builtin-fetch implementation was not honoring this setting as it
was copied from the wrong struct ref instance.

Thanks to Johannes Schindelin for review and fixes, and Julian
Phillips for the original C translation.
This changes a few small bits of behavior:
branch.<name>.merge is parsed as if it were the lhs of a fetch
refspec, and does not have to exactly match the actual lhs of a
refspec, so long as it is a valid abbreviation for the same ref.
branch.<name>.merge is no longer ignored if the remote is configured
with a branches/* file. Neither behavior is useful, because there can
only be one ref that gets fetched, but this is more consistant.
Also, fetch prints different information to standard out.
