Ah, I don’t think this scene of damage is related to using %(push)
or %(refname).

We are just in the process of using `populate_value()`, if the atom we
specify meets the following conditions, then the condition of
atom->u.remote_ref.push!=0 will be established.

1. The atom that triggers the bug , its "if" condition order must after
"if (atom->u.remote_ref.push)", such as %(refname) or %(worktreepath),
they can be executed correctly because their order is before "push".

2. The member size in used_atom.u corresponding to the atom must
larger than 17 bytes, because the offset of "u.remote_ref.push" in
"u.remote_ref" is 17, the satisfied atoms are only "%(color)" and
 "%(contents)", their corresponding members are u.color and u.contents.

3. We happen to be able to fill in the 17th position of these structures,
 which makes atom->u.remote_ref.push not equal to 0 established.

So this kind of bug is not related to %(push), an atom that satisfies
the above conditions will make `if (atom->u.remote_ref.push)` be true.
then execute the program logic related to `%(push)`.

Now, we only have `%(color)` can trigger it "sometime",
It is unpredictable to fill in the 17th byte of used_atom.u.color,
so we cannot track all the atoms related to this bug.

git for-each-ref --format="%(color:#aa22ac)%(refname)"
git for-each-ref --format="%(color:#aa22ad)%(refname)"

will trigger the bug.

git for-each-ref --format="%(color:#aa22ae)%(refname)"
git for-each-ref --format="%(color:#aa22af)%(refname)"

will not trigger the bug.

In other words, we cannot use a perfect test set to cover all broken.
So now `%(color:#aa22ac)` is enough for explain the problem of this bug.

Thanks.
