-Remotes configuration API
-=========================
-
-The API in remote.h gives access to the configuration related to
-remotes. It handles all three configuration mechanisms historically
-and currently used by Git, and presents the information in a uniform
-fashion. Note that the code also handles plain URLs without any
-configuration, giving them just the default information.
-
-struct remote
--------------
-
-`name`::
-
- The user's nickname for the remote
-
-`url`::
-
- An array of all of the url_nr URLs configured for the remote
-
-`pushurl`::
-
- An array of all of the pushurl_nr push URLs configured for the remote
-
-`push`::
-
- An array of refspecs configured for pushing, with
- push_refspec being the literal strings, and push_refspec_nr
- being the quantity.
-
-`fetch`::
-
- An array of refspecs configured for fetching, with
- fetch_refspec being the literal strings, and fetch_refspec_nr
- being the quantity.
-
-`fetch_tags`::
-
- The setting for whether to fetch tags (as a separate rule from
- the configured refspecs); -1 means never to fetch tags, 0
- means to auto-follow tags based on the default heuristic, 1
- means to always auto-follow tags, and 2 means to fetch all
- tags.
-
-`receivepack`, `uploadpack`::
-
- The configured helper programs to run on the remote side, for
- Git-native protocols.
-
-`http_proxy`::
-
- The proxy to use for curl (http, https, ftp, etc.) URLs.
-
-`http_proxy_authmethod`::
-
- The method used for authenticating against `http_proxy`.
-
-struct remotes can be found by name with remote_get(), and iterated
-through with for_each_remote(). remote_get(NULL) will return the
-default remote, given the current branch and configuration.
-
-struct refspec
---------------
-
-A struct refspec holds the parsed interpretation of a refspec. If it
-will force updates (starts with a '+'), force is true. If it is a
-pattern (sides end with '*') pattern is true. src and dest are the
-two sides (including '*' characters if present); if there is only one
-side, it is src, and dst is NULL; if sides exist but are empty (i.e.,
-the refspec either starts or ends with ':'), the corresponding side is
-"".
-
-An array of strings can be parsed into an array of struct refspecs
-using parse_fetch_refspec() or parse_push_refspec().
-
-remote_find_tracking(), given a remote and a struct refspec with
-either src or dst filled out, will fill out the other such that the
-result is in the "fetch" specification for the remote (note that this
-evaluates patterns and returns a single result).
-
-struct branch
--------------
-
-Note that this may end up moving to branch.h
-
-struct branch holds the configuration for a branch. It can be looked
-up with branch_get(name) for "refs/heads/{name}", or with
-branch_get(NULL) for HEAD.
-
-It contains:
-
-`name`::
-
- The short name of the branch.
-
-`refname`::
-
- The full path for the branch ref.
-
-`remote_name`::
-
- The name of the remote listed in the configuration.
-
-`merge_name`::
-
- An array of the "merge" lines in the configuration.
-
-`merge`::
-
- An array of the struct refspecs used for the merge lines. That
- is, merge[i]->dst is a local tracking ref which should be
- merged into this branch by default.
-
-`merge_nr`::
-
- The number of merge configurations
-
-branch_has_merge_config() returns true if the given branch has merge
-configuration given.
-
-Other stuff
------------
-
-There is other stuff in remote.h that is related, in general, to the
-process of interacting with remotes.
