This is a completely unrelated problem!

It says that there is no branch named "test" on the remote side, and since 
you could also want to push a tag, you have to say

	test:refs/heads/test

here. However, I do not understand why you bother to use the :dst syntax 
here, since your target name is _exactly_ the same as the source name. Why 
not just

	git push slcom test

because I had gotten the command line from bash-completion and since it
worked with existing branches I saw no reason why it shouldn't work with
new ones.
will read the documentation next time ;-)
