[PATCH] transport-helper: barf when user tries old:new

Otherwise with certain remote helpers (the ones that support 'export'), the users will be pushing to the wrong branch:

  git push topic:master
Will push the topic branch, as if the user typed:
  git push topic

I did fix this properly, but was beaten by shoots from the hip[1]. I won't bother rationalizing if this makes sense for 'master', or writing tests. This patch can't possibly make anything worst. If somebody is interested, there's proper fix: [1], with explanation, tests, and everything.
