/* This part determines what can overwrite what.
* The rules are:
/*
* The below logic determines whether an individual
* refspec A:B can be pushed. The push will succeed
* if any of the following are true:
*
* (0) you can always use --force or +A:B notation to
* selectively force individual ref pairs.
* (1) the remote reference B does not exist
*
* (1) if the old thing does not exist, it is OK.
* (2) the remote reference B is being removed (i.e.,
* pushing :B where no source is specified)
*
* (2) if the destination is under refs/tags/ you are
* not allowed to overwrite it; tags are expected
* to be static once created
* (3) the update meets all fast-forwarding criteria:
*
* (3) if you do not have the old thing, you are not allowed
* to overwrite it; you would not know what you are losing
* otherwise.
* (a) the destination is not under refs/tags/
* (b) the old is a commit
* (c) the new is a descendant of the old
*
* (4) if old is a commit and new is a descendant of old
* (implying new is commit-ish), it is OK.
* NOTE: We must actually have the old object in
* order to overwrite it in the remote reference,
* and the new object must be commit-ish. These are
* implied by (b) and (c) respectively.
*
* (5) regardless of all of the above, removing :B is
* always allowed.
* (4) it is forced using the +A:B notation, or by
* passing the --force argument
