I think this is an all-around improvement. GitHub sometimes get support
requests for result=18 on a git-push, which is curl's code for "I dunno,
the remote end hung up". Having a human-readable message may make things
less confusing.

Unfortunately I cannot seem to create the problem at will to confirm
that it kicks in in this case[1], but it seems like it should just based on
reading your patch.

[1] I tried inserting "exit(0)" in various places of receive-pack, and
    it seems make the protocol deadlock. Yikes.
