The semantics of this one is fuzzy. We made an update to a ref that
is different from the one that was requested (presumably that is what
is reported after "\0ref="), OK, but did we update the ref in the
request, too, or did we leave the ref in the request intact? Or, do
we say "no\0ref=..." if we don't update the requested ref and
instead update a different one? Let's hold the answer at this point
and keep thinking...

It is not clear if there needs to be any correspondence between the
sequence of input commands and the sequence of output commands. I
am guessing that there is not any and the hook is allowed to do
anything as it wants to. For example:
- it is OK to execute them all and report them, but in a totally
random order.
- it is OK to ignore all input and report no update (not even
"ng").
- it is OK to be asked to update one ref, but update and report
updates to two refs that are not related to the requested ref.
Is my understanding correct?
Or does the design tie the set of input and output ref updates
closely together, i.e. one input corresponds to one output and they
are in order, so all the hook is allowed to do is
- to execute and update as it is told, and report "ok",
- to reject and report "ng", or
- to update *another* ref without updating the requested one, with
"ok\0ref=..." mechanism.
I am not sure which one is more sensible, though.
If we choose to use the "anything goes" approach, I do not think
there is no need for the "ok\nref=..." mechanism---we can just give
two output records, one "ok" for the original request, and a new
"ok" that reports the "we updated this one instead".

So, here we parsed "<old> <new> <ref> (ok|ng)", with status pointing
at ok/ng, or "<old> <new> <ref> (ok|ng) <why>", with status pointing
at ok/ng and msg pointing at <why>. refname points at <ref>.
Most notably, "ok\0ref=..." is not handled any specially from a
normal "ok" here.

Updates against a request to update certain ref hierarchies by the
hook is rejected here.

The <why> in "(ok|ng) <why>" message is only used for "ng", which is
probably good, as the reason why something succeeded is not usually
very interesting.

But then shouldn't we be complaining if msg is not NULL here,
instead of silently ignoring? Also we didn't see what happened to
the promised "ok\0ref=..." stuff here, or the passthru "ft".
Puzzled...

Or, is this last one the catch all for "ft" (in other words, the
hook does not have to say "ft", but as long as it says two non-SP
letters that are not "ok" nor "ng", it is taken as "ft")?

OK, so this sort-of answers my earlier question. But not quite...
The output records and the input requests are tied by "<ref>" each
input record wanted to udpate. The order does not matter, but not
having a corresponding report in the hook's output is like the hook
reporting a "ng" failure. It also means that the hook can update
two refs in response to one request, but it is awkward.

Isn't this a brand new protocol between receive-pack and a hook? I
am puzzled why we want a choice between using and not using
sideband. It's not like you are maintaining compatibility with
ancient version of Git that talked with proc-receive hook but
without sideband, because it did not know how to multiplex sideband
communication. Shouldn't we just always assume that the sideband is
available?
Or are we just letting the hook directly answer the push client and
that is why this thing needs to know if we are using sideband
between us and the client? I kind of expected that you'd keep the
two communication channels on both sides isolated so that the side
that talks with the hook does not need to know how we are talking
with the client.
