[PATCH] Fix git-push --mirror also mirroring refs/remotes/

From
Bryan Drewery <bryan@shatow.net>
Date

Message-ID
<1241984136-2578-1-git-send-email-bryan@shatow.net>

git-push --mirror was incorrectly mirroring refs/remotes/ previously. This patch fixes it to follow the documentation which is to mirror only refs/heads/ and refs/tags/.
