When "git push" is configured to use the push negotiation, a push of deletion of a branch (without pushing anything else) may end up not having anything to negotiate for the common ancestor discovery.
In such a case, we end up making an internal invocation of "git fetch --negotiate-only" without any "--negotiate-tip" parameters that stops the negotiate-only fetch from being run, which by itself is not a bad thing (one fewer round-trip), but the end-user sees a "fatal: --negotiate-only needs one or more --negotiation-tip=*" message that the user cannot act upon.
Teach "git push" to notice the situation and omit performing the negotiate-only fetch to begin with. One fewer process spawned, one fewer "alarming" message given the user.
