[PATCH RFC] new config option remote.<name>.pushexec

["Uwe Kleine-König" <zeisberg@informatik.uni-freiburg.de>]

git push --exec=... is fine, but having it to specify every time is
annoying.

This sets the default remote program for pushing to remote <name>.

This has (still) a few short comings:

 a) compiler warning because execute has the type const char*.

 b) cmdline should overwrite remote.<name>.pushexec w/o the warning.

 c) the symmetric part for fetch is missing.

The idea should be clear.  Would a more complete patch be welcome?

Best regards
Uwe
