# > git push ssh://devsrv/var/git/os2kernel.git linus:refs/linus
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
updating 'refs/linus' using 'refs/heads/linus'
from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
to bbf25010f1a6b761914430f5fca081ec8c7accd1

error: refusing to create funny ref 'refs/linus' locally
ng refs/linus funny refname
error: failed to push to 'ssh://devsrv/var/git/os2kernel.git'
