In the case where one pushes a non-existent oid to an unqualified
destination, we encounter the following BUG

	error: The destination you provided is not a full refname (i.e.,
	starting with "refs/"). We tried to guess what you meant by:

	- Looking for a ref that matches 'branch' on the remote side.
	- Checking if the <src> being pushed ('0000000000000000000000000000000000000001')
	  is a ref in "refs/{heads,tags}/". If so we add a corresponding
	  refs/{heads,tags}/ prefix on the remote side.

	Neither worked, so we gave up. You must fully qualify the ref.
	BUG: remote.c:1221: '0000000000000000000000000000000000000001' should be commit/tag/tree/blob, is '-1'
	fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
	Aborted (core dumped)

However, this isn't actually a bug so replace it with an advise()
message.

Changes since v4:

* Put the switch statement refactoring patch last so that we don't get
  compile errors from a missing variable

Thanks, this version looks good to me.

Yeah, this looks good.  Let's mark it for 'next'.

Thanks, both.
