[PATCH v5 0/7] push: update remote tags only with force

[Chris Rorvick <chris@rorvick.com>]

Incorporated Junio's feedback.  Also, I broke the last patch of the
previous series out into three to make the changes more clear.

This patch set can be divided into two sets:

  1. Provide useful advice for rejected tag references.

     push: return reject reasons via a mask
     push: add advice for rejected tag reference

     Recommending a merge to resolve a rejected tag update seems
     nonsensical since the tag does not come along for the ride.  These
     patches change the advice for rejected tags to suggest using
     "push -f".

  2. Require force when updating tag references, even on a fast-forward.

     push: flag updates
     push: flag updates that require force
     push: require force for refs under refs/tags/
     push: require force for annotated tags
     push: clarify rejection of update to non-commit-ish

     This is in response to the following thread:

       http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/208354

     This series prevents fast-forwards if the reference is under the
     refs/tags/* hierarchy or if the old object is a tag.
