Re: [PATCH 2/4] push: teach --base for ssh:// and file://

For the ssh:// and file:// transports, teach push the "--base"
parameter, which indicates an ancestor of the commits to be pushed that

Looking at this patch, I don't see any reason why this couldn't be
a multi-valued parameter that populates a string_list on the client
and the server translates into a list of object_ids. Converting from
the current single-base model to a multiple-base model would probably
be just as big of a patch as this one, so perhaps jump straight to
that capability instead of pausing at the single-base model here?
