Originally, it seemed like a good idea to add automatic 'push' rules
to the git configuration, so that personal- and vendor-space commits
would automatically push to the right place.  Unfortunately, this
changes git's behaviour and with these settings "git push" will try to
push all branches in a local tree up to the corresponding location on
the server (ignoring the push.default setting).  The only known
mitigation for this is to ALWAYS use "git push <server> <branch>".

So instead, we no-longer add those rules by default and will document
the options on the wiki.  We don't automatically remove the push
entries but do print out the command that will do so, if the user so
wishes.

OK?

	* gcc-git-customization.sh: Explain why we want the user's
	upstream account name.  Don't add push rules.  Check if push rules
	have been added and suggest that they should be removed.
	* git-fetch-vendor.sh: Don't add push rules.

I've now checked this in.

A reasonable replacement for those push rules might be command aliases 
(e.g. "git upush <branch>" to push the user branch <branch>).

And/or git mpush for push origin HEAD:master

Would we have then separate aliases for pushing to one vendor branch and
another vendor branch?
Couldn't one alias determine from the branch remote and merge and
perhaps the fetch rules figure out the right git push arguments
given the setup (e.g. treat $(git config --get gcc-config.userpfx)
and $(git config --get gcc-config.user) as push to user branch,
devel/*, master, releases/* as normal git push and the rest as vendors
(or let git-fetch-vendor.sh record list of all used vendors in some gcc-config
setting)?

I think the new proposed remotes structure should eliminate most of the 
concerns about unsafe push rules; at worst you will only push everything 
related to the 'remote' that your current branch is on.

So I think having more aliases is now unnecessary.
