I think Daniel's rewrite of remote ref matching code that has been cooking in 'next' changes the match semantics of the remote side in subtle way to make it easier to favor branches when pushing branches, but I juggle many topics and I have to go back to the code to make sure. Since you are interested, and more importantly since I know you are capable to do the digging yourself, I won't be doing the digging myself immediately, though.
