Actually, this is not true. receive-pack actually passes the error code
back to send-pack, which prints it. I think it is doing so because we
get that status separate from the individual ref status. But if you look
at receive-pack, it doesn't even bother trying individual refs if the
unpack failed; every ref will just get the "unpack failed" message.
