Is there anything broken with pushing with mirror over HTTP?  I'm
trying that with a github url, and I get a broken-looking error
message:

  remote part of refspec is not a valid name in :.have

and with the google code, I get:

  error: unable to push to unqualified destination: HEAD

Pushing to both of these work fine without `--mirror'.


(BTW, as a workaround, I'm using
  push --force --tags <url> :
is this achieving the same effect for a repo without weird refs?)
