2026-07-22remote: find tracking branches for URL push destinationsHarald Nordgren1-0/+3
Git accepts a repository URL as branch.<name>.pushRemote and can push to it. This branch setting takes precedence over remote.pushDefault. A branch can be configured with a URL-valued pushRemote before any push occurs. If the remotes are later rearranged with "git remote rename" and "git remote add", the newly added remote may use that URL. The URL value is unaffected by the rename and continues to take precedence over remote.pushDefault. The URL and the remote then point to the same repository, but Git does not connect them for tracking. Pushing works, but @{push} cannot identify the remote's tracking branch. As a result, "git status" cannot show the push branch, and an up-to-date push can leave its tracking information stale. When exactly one configured remote would push to the same URL, use that remote for push tracking. Continue to push to the URL so the configured remote's push settings do not change existing behavior. Keep the current behavior when no remote matches or multiple remotes match. Signed-off-by: Harald Nordgren <haraldnordgren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-01-21doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc filesbrian m. carlson1-0/+421
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc, meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting. It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files, since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new extension as well. Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the documentation. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
