This is a completely unrelated problem!

It says that there is no branch named "test" on the remote side, and since you could also want to push a tag, you have to say

	test:refs/heads/test

here. However, I do not understand why you bother to use the :dst syntax here, since your target name is _exactly_ the same as the source name. Why not just

	git push slcom test

Hm??

That's apparently a bug in git-remote.
