To push a branch other than the checked-out one, lazygit has to name the
remote and the remote branch in the push command; a bare `git push` only
works for the current branch. The upstream isn't always the right
destination. In a triangular workflow the branch is pushed to a
different remote than it pulls from, and with push.default set to
"current" it goes to a branch of the same name whatever the upstream is
called.
Read the destination from git instead of working it out from the config.
The %(push) field of for-each-ref names the remote-tracking ref that a
push would update, taking push.default, remote.pushDefault and
branch.<name>.pushRemote into account. It is also the ref that the
push:track counts are computed against, so the force-push detection and
the destination agree. The field is available since git 2.5, well before
the oldest version lazygit supports.
Nothing uses the new fields yet.
