There's a fair bit of refactoring involved. I took a stab at it and came
up with the series below. No docs or tests, and some of the refactoring
in remote.c feels a little weird. I can't help but feel more of the
logic from "git push" should be shared here.

But it at least works with my rudimentary examples. I'm hoping it will
make a good starting point for you to build on. Otherwise, I may get to
it eventually, but it's not a high priority for me right now.

Ah, that's how I'd probably use it, too. :)
