[RESEND/PATCH] transport-helper: improve push messages

If there's already a remote-helper tracking ref, we can fetch the SHA-1 to report proper push messages (as opposed to always reporting [new branch]).

The remote-helper currently can specify the old SHA-1 to avoid this problem, but there's no point in forcing all remote-helpers to be aware of git commit ids; they should be able to be agnostic of them.

I already sent this, but it has had the unfortunate luck of getting stuck with a bunch of irrelevant patches in 'next'.

This is not only good enough for 'master', but probably even 'maint'.
