French translation: incorrect translation for error message in “git push <remote>”

Hi,

I just noticed a misleading translation. When running `git push foo`, one can get an error message that looks like this:

> fatal: You are pushing to remote 'foo', which is not the upstream of
> your current branch 'the-branch', without telling me what to push
> to update which remote branch.
In French, that message is:
> fatal: Vous êtes en train de pousser vers la branche distante 'foo', qui n'est
> pas une branche amont de votre branche courante 'the-branch', sans me dire
> quoi pousser pour mettre à jour quelle branche amont.

which incorrectly refers to foo as a remote *branch*, as opposed to just a remote.

In the error message for `git remote rename a b`, remotes are called « serveur remote » (« fatal: Pas de serveur remote : 'a' »), so this could be what to change the message to. « qui n'est pas une branche amont » would also have to be changed.

Thanks.

Best, Sami
