From: Tao Klerks <tao@klerks.biz>

In a previous release, the push.autosetupremote config was introduced to
ease new branch management in "simple" single-remote workflows. This makes
"git push" work on new branches (without configured upstream) with
push.default set to "simple" or "upstream" and it implies
"--set-upstream" regardless of whether the same-name remote branch exists
or not.

The "@{push}" suffix logic was not adjusted to account for this new option,
however, and sometimes returns an error when "git push" would successfully
push to an existing remote branch.

This is an edge-case, as the main context where push.autosetupremote will
apply is for *new* branches, with no corresponding remote branch yet, and
so even if the defaulting is handled correctly, the rev-parse will still
fail with "unknown revision or path not in the working tree".

Fix this edge-case so "git rev-parse @{push}" works, if there is no
upstream tracking relationship set up but the remote tracking branch that
will be defaulted to does exist and can be resolved.

Also add corresponding test cases.

Before the first push of the branch X where we are asking for
X@{push}, i.e. there is not the corresponding branch over there yet
and we do not have the remote-tracking branch for it yet, what does
this function return?  If it continues to error out, then I think
this patch may make sense, but ...

... shouldn't the precedence order the other way around here ...

... and here?  That is, if branch_get_upstream() finds an explicitly
configured one, shouldn't we use that and fall back to the new
"missing" code path only when there isn't an explicitly configured
one?

It does indeed still error out, because even though "git push" may
succeed (eg if "push.autosetupremote=true"), there simply isn't a
remote-tracking branch for it yet.

The only "point" of the patch is to address the edge-case where the
remote-tracking branch *does* exist, and git push *would* push to it,
on the basis of the new "push.autosetupremote=true" behavior.

In that very specific case, it's "wrong" to return an error just
because the tracking relationship doesn't exist yet.

This is a bit convoluted, but I don't see how to make it more obvious.

The new "default_missing_upstream" function checks the *same
conditions* - it only "kicks in" if "branch_get_upstream()" would
return an error.

The reasons I can't add the new logic *after* or *in*
"branch_get_upstream()", and avoid this non-obviousness, are that:
* "branch_get_upstream()" raises an error, so recovering afterwards
seems non-trivial (to me at least - I haven't got my head around the
"idiom" yet)
* "branch_get_upstream()" is used in a a few other places for other
purposes, so I'm not comfortable modifying it for my purposes
* "branch_get_upstream()" is non-trivial, so I'm not comfortable
duplicating it / creating a new variant

I think I see one other approach that I could try and haven't attempted yet:
* Adding an extra parameter to "branch_get_upstream()" for new
behavior in these contexts

This might be easier to follow, even if it makes
"branch_get_upstream()" itself more complex.

There's probably some clean refactor that I'm failing to see.

Yep, same deal - by the time "branch_get_upstream()" has *not* found
one, it's returned an error, and I haven't understood the side-effects
of that in this project, if any.

Any advice on whether an already-prepared error can simply be
discarded would be welcome!

    option.
    
    V2:
    
     * Rebased onto recent main, 10 months later.
    
    On the original thread, Junio expressed some concerns over the clarity
    of the code / the obviousness of the change, but I did not find any
    better approach.
