This needs clarification. I do not mean "it is more plausible that it wants remote-tracking rather than local". What I meant was that between the two cases, pushing refs/remotes/foo:foo is more likely a sign that the user wants to create a local branch than pushing other random sha1 expression, like 40eaf9377fe649:foo, is.
