I am fine with rejecting it with a warning, but we should not then
complain that the other side did not send us the object, since we should
not be asking for it at all. I also do not see us complaining about the
funny ref anywhere.  So there is definitely _a_ bug here. :)

I think somebody else mentioned recently that we do not handle malformed
refs consistently. I think it was:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/239381

which might or might not be related.
