Re: Enhancement request: git-push: Allow (configurable) default push-option

[Marius Paliga <marius.paliga@gmail.com>]

Updated patch and added tests:
(feel free to modify Documentation)

Subject: [PATCH] Added support for new configuration parameter push.pushOption

builtin/push.c: add push.pushOption config

Currently push options need to be given explicitly, via
the command line as "git push --push-option".

The UX of Git would be enhanced if push options could be
configured instead of given each time on the command line.

Add the config option push.pushOption, which is a multi
string option, containing push options that are sent by default.

When push options are set in the system wide config
(/etc/gitconfig), they can be unset later in the more specific
repository config by setting the string to the empty string.

Add tests and documentation as well.
