The previous patch adds validation of upstream remote-tracking branches by
parsing the configured refspecs, and making sure that the candidate upstream
(if not already matching refs/heads/* or refs/remotes/*) is indeed a
remote-tracking branch according to some remote's refspec. For a
default/conventional setup, this check would automatically also cover
everything within refs/remotes/*, meaning that the preceding check for
refs/remotes/* is redundant (although quicker than the validation against
refspecs). One could also argue that not everything inside refs/remotes/*
should be automatically acceptable as an upstream, if one were to keep
other (non-branch) type of remote-tracking refs there.
This patch removes the simple check for refs/remotes/*, to make sure that
_only_ validated remote-tracking branches (in addition to local branches)
are allowed as upstreams.
However, this means that for unconventional setups that place refs within
refs/remotes/* without configuring a corresponding refspec, those refs will
no longer be usable as upstreams. This breaks a few existing tests, which
are marked as test_expect_failure by this patch, to make them easy to find.
