Yep. I extended the test with this case, checking for deletion of the remote reference and its tracking reference. Will send it separetely. The mainline fails the second test, my patch the third (first being the test setup).

I actually started almost like that: by placing an error bit in struct ref. But than it looked like new_sha1 was just not updated for not sent references, and the deleted ref are checked if their peer_ref->new_sha1 is null_sha1.
