struct refspec
--------------
-A struct refspec holds the parsed interpretation of a refspec. If it
-will force updates (starts with a '+'), force is true. If it is a
-pattern (sides end with '*') pattern is true. src and dest are the two
-sides (if a pattern, only the part outside of the wildcards); if there
-is only one side, it is src, and dst is NULL; if sides exist but are
-empty (i.e., the refspec either starts or ends with ':'), the
-corresponding side is "".

-This parsing can be done to an array of strings to give an array of
-struct refpsecs with parse_ref_spec().

remote_find_tracking(), given a remote and a struct refspec with
either src or dst filled out, will fill out the other such that the
