I agree that makes the most sense.

As Steffen has been advocating on another thread, depending on
your workflow, you do not care about some classes of push errors
per pushed refs.  The update of the remote and local tracking
refs should be done in sync (i.e. if the remote wasn't updated,
never update the corresponding local), but it can depend on the
nature of the failure if a failure to update a remote ref should
result in the non-zero exit status from git-push as a whole.

And to implement that, per-ref error flag would be a good way to
go, methinks.
