[PATCH 3/3] push: detect local refspec errors early
When pushing, we do not even look at our push refspecs until after we have made contact with the remote receive-pack and gotten its list of refs. This means that we may go to some work, including asking the user to log in, before realizing we have simple errors like "git push origin matser".
We cannot catch all refspec problems, since fully evaluating the refspecs requires knowing what the remote side has. But we can do a quick sanity check of the local side and catch a few simple error cases.
