This broke with #3528.
If the remote branch is not stored locally, we only see question marks in the
branch status. In this case we can't tell whether we need to force-push, so it's
best to assume that we don't, and see if the server rejects the push, and react
to that by asking to force push. This second part is also broken right now,
we'll fix this in the next commit.
To determine whether we need to ask for force pushing, we need to query the push
branch rather than the upstream branch, in case they are not the same.
In a triangular workflow the branch that you're pulling from is not the same as
the one that you are pushing to. For example, some people find it useful to set
the upstream branch to origin/master so that pulling effectively rebases onto
master, and set the push.default git config to "current" so that "feature"
pushes to origin/feature.
Another example is a fork-based workflow where "feature" has upstream set to
upstream/main, and the repo has remote.pushDefault set to "origin", so pushing
on "feature" pushes to origin/feature.
This commit adds new fields to models.Branch that store the ahead/behind
information against the push branch; for the "normal" workflow where you pull
and push from/to the upstream branch, AheadForPush/BehindForPush will be the
same as AheadForPull/BehindForPull.
When pulling/pushing/fast-forwarding a branch, show this state in the branches
list for that branch for as long as the operation takes, to make it easier to
see when it's done (without having to stare at the status bar in the lower
left).
This will hopefully help with making these operations feel more predictable, now
that we no longer show a loader panel for them.
test: add an integration test for checkout branch by name
fix: fix full ref name of detached head
refactor: refactor current branch loader
chore: use field name explicitly
