[0/4] clone: allow configurable default for -o/--origin

Message

Took another pass at supporting a configurable default for-o/--origin, this
time following Junio's suggestions from a previous approach as much as
possible [1]. Unfortunately, Johannes mentioned that --template can write
new config values that aren't automatically merged without re-calling 
git_config. There doesn't appear to be a way around this without rewriting
significant amounts of init and config logic across the codebase.

While this could have been v2 of the original patchset, it's diverged so
drastically from the original that it likely warrants its own root thread.
If that's not appropriate though, I'd be happy to restructure!

Thanks for all the advice Junio and Johannes! This feels significantly
better than my first attempt.

Sean Barag (4):
  clone: add tests for --template and some disallowed option pairs
  clone: call git_config before parse_options
  clone: validate --origin option before use
  clone: allow configurable default for `-o`/`--origin`

Thanks for this update. I like the feature quite a bit, and all
of my comments are about style and organization instead of
functional issues.

I think it is fine to restart the thread if the range-diff is not helpful.

Thanks,

I did wonder if this series came from the same motivation while
scanning messages in the mailbox and saw no "v2" in the subject, but
I am OK either way in a case like this.  

I DO appreciate this note to explain why it is not marked with "v2".
