It's always hard for a new contributor to write a decent commit log message.

Checking the condition first will also save us to prepare shallow advertise.

The next block ("Finally, tell the other end!") is what we send
commands to "receive-pack", right after some of the status are reset
to REF_STATUS_OK or REF_STATUS_EXPECTING_REPORT by this chunk of code.
So moving the generate_push_cert() part right before the "Finally,
tell the other end!" part LGTM.
