This patch series improves the refspec handling in push. It is a replacement for the series in sp/push-refspec (666df53d6868bf56ca6c9ed0a927d612c67fe68c). The series addresses some issues that were recently discussed on the mailing list. - creating remote refs requires a more explicit command [1]. - the current branch can be pushed as "git push HEAD" [2]. - matching of refs use same rules as git rev-parse [3]. - annoying error messages when working with shared repos are supressed [4].

Therefore, we need to decide if this series can be applied before git 1.6. All tests pass.
