You can use a branch's shortname to push it. Push used to create the branch on the remote side if it did not yet exist. If you specified the wrong branch accidentally it was created. A safety valve that pushes only existing branches may help to avoid errors. This commit changes push to fail if the remote ref does not yet exist and the refspec does not start with refs/. Remote refs must explicitly be created with their full name.
