I didn't actually look at the code of this patch, as I am
rejecting the initial round of [PATCH 2/5] this depends on, but
this is one thing Cogito did that we don't, and I think it makes
sort of sense.  We pretend as if we fetched back immediately
after we pushed without giving anybody a chance to further
update the refs we updated at the remote.  I generally do not
like "pretend that we did something" when talking about reliable
operations (and SCM _is_ all about reliable operation), and this
behaviour is exactly it, but I think this one is excusable.
