Subject: [JGIT PATCH] Fix push to empty repository
Message-ID: <1221543484-51295-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

```
If the remote repository has no commits we received an exception
about "capabilities^{} coming before capabilities".  This happens
because we didn't correctly ignore the dummy capability ref line.
