"ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget" [off-list ref] writes:
From: ZheNing Hu <redacted>
When the user deletes the remote one level branch through
"git push origin -d refs/foo", remote will return an error:
"refusing to create funny ref 'refs/foo' remotely", here we
are not creating "refs/foo" instead wants to delete it, so a
better error description here would be: "refusing to update
funny ref 'refs/foo' remotely".
OK, update() works on each ref affected, not just the ones that are
updated, but also created and deleted. The updated wording may
probably be better.

I am not sure what relevance this new test has to the proposed
update to the message, though.
Thanks.
