Not unreasonable, although I think our line length is getting a bit
long.  Rejected refs would look something like (actually they say
"[rejected]" but the text is column-aligned with the X's):

 ! XXXXXXX...XXXXXXX ref_name -> ref_name (non-fast forward; need to pull?)

There's 58 characters of text not including the two ref_names, leaving
about 11 characters for each ref name. The name of this topic,
jk/send-pack, would overflow an 80-character terminal:

 ! [rejected]        jk/send-pack -> jk/send-pack (non-fast forward; need to pull?)
