Subject: transport-helper.c::push_refs(): emit "no refs" error message
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.0-rc0~74^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c1ceea1d273925fe6ecb0824e7ea08eb6e6e2635;p=git.git

transport-helper.c::push_refs(): emit "no refs" error message

Emit an error message when remote_refs is not set.

This behaviour is consistent with that of builtin-send-pack.c and
http-push.c.
