When we fail to store a fetched ref, we recommend that the user try running "git prune" to remove up any old refs that have been deleted by the remote, which would clear up any DF conflicts. However, ref storage might fail for other reasons (e.g., permissions problems) in which case the advice is useless and misleading. This patch detects when there is an actual DF situation and only issues the advice when one is found.
