New users tend to work on one branch at a time and push the result
out. The current and upstream modes of push is a more suitable default
mode than matching mode for these people, but neither is surprise-free
depending on how the project is set up. Introduce a "simple" mode that
is a subset of "upstream" but only works when the branch is named the same
between the remote and local repositories.
The plan is to make it the new default when push.default is not
configured.

"git rebase" learned to optionally keep commits that do not introduce
any change in the original history.
By Neil Horman
* nh/empty-rebase:
git-rebase: add keep_empty flag
git-cherry-pick: Add test to validate new options
git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits option
git-cherry-pick: add allow-empty option
Add a command line switch to git-rebase to allow a user the ability to specify
that they want to keep any commits in a series that are empty.
When git-rebase's type is am, then this option will automatically keep any
commit that has a tree object identical to its parent.
This patch changes the default behavior of interactive rebases as well. With
this patch, git-rebase -i will produce a revision set passed to
git-revision-editor, in which empty commits are commented out. Empty commits
may be kept manually by uncommenting them. If the new --keep-empty option is
used in an interactive rebase the empty commits will automatically all be
uncommented in the editor.

It is too early to start warning loudly about the future default change
in favor of 'simple', since many users use different versions of Git, and
would be harmed if we advised them to explicitely set
'push.default=simple' when using old versions of Git.
Still, we want to document the upcomming change so that:
* Users who may be affected by the change get one more chance to know it
in advance.
* We actually commit to changing the default, and avoid repeating past
errors.

When calling "git push" without argument, we want to allow Git to do
something simple to explain and safe. push.default=matching is unsafe
when used to push to shared repositories, and hard to explain to
beginners in some contexts. It is debatable whether 'upstream' or
'current' is the safest or the easiest to explain, so introduce a new
mode called 'simple' that is the intersection of them: push to the
upstream branch, but only if it has the same name remotely. If not, give
an error that suggests the right command to push explicitely to
'upstream' or 'current'.
A question is whether to allow pushing when no upstream is configured. An
argument in favor of allowing the push is that it makes the new mode work
in more cases. On the other hand, refusing to push when no upstream is
configured encourages the user to set the upstream, which will be
beneficial on the next pull. Lacking better argument, we chose to deny
the push, because it will be easier to change in the future if someone
shows us wrong.

The git-cherry-pick --allow-empty command by default only preserves empty
commits that were originally empty, i.e only those commits for which
<commit>^{tree} and <commit>^^{tree} are equal. By default commits which are
non-empty, but were made empty by the inclusion of a prior commit on the current
history are filtered out. This option allows us to override that behavior and
include redundant commits as empty commits in the change history.
Note that this patch changes the default behavior of git cherry-pick slightly.
Prior to this patch all commits in a cherry-pick sequence were applied and git
commit was run. The implication here was that, if a commit was redundant, and
the commit did not trigger the fast forward logic, the git commit operation, and
therefore the git cherry-pick operation would fail, displaying the cherry pick
advice (i.e. run git commit --allow-empty). With this patch however, such
redundant commits are automatically skipped without stopping, unless
--keep-redundant-commits is specified, in which case, they are automatically
applied as empty commits.
