and its push destination as well as its upstream, when the two are
different (i.e., triangular workflow).

- SQUASH??? read_gitfile(): group ENOENT and ENOTDIR into a single MISSING error
- setup: improve error diagnosis for invalid .git files
While discovering a ".git" directory, the code treats any stat()
failure as a sign that a filesystem entity .git does not exist
there, and ignores ".git" that is not a "gitdir" file or a
directory. The code has been tightened to notice and report
filesystem corruption better.
Needs review.
