The original seems to want the push to succeed, and also it wants the file
refs/heads/master to be present after the push (presumably because there
should be that ref when the push succeeds).  If you fixed "push" that used
to fail to succeed, that is great, and s/failure/success/ is a good thing.

But you are removing something else without explanation.  Why do you need
to remove the part of the test that checks if refs/heads/master is present?
Is it looking for a file in a wrong place?
