- git push: prints updates of remote heads. A message about
  failing to update a remote head may get lost.

Please do not remove the report of successful update, as people often 
say "git push" or "git push $there" without explicitly saying which 
refs to push.  When pushing out to publish, I say "git push ko" (to 
mean k.org) and I _want_ my positive feedback.

Yes but it's pretty technical.

A much simpler output could be easier to scan by a human

updating 'refs/heads/master' .. fast forward .. ok.
updating 'refs/heads/pu' .. forced non-fast forward .. ok.
updating 'refs/heads/next' ..
ERROR: 'refs/heads/next' not updating to non-fast forward
exit(1) here.

No, please no.  This is way too short.

If at all, please let 8c3275abcacb83ea3f4c4f4ceb2376799fc282bd be an 
example, and make git respect several different output levels, but not 
changing the default (at first).

Ciao,
