[PATCH] Tell users that git protocol is not for pushing

From: Nathan W. Panike <nathan.panike@gmail.com>

When one attempts to push to a git-protocol repository, one gets the line:

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

This seems a bit obscure to me.  It is better to inform the user that git://
does not allow pushing.
