It is "static int" meaning it is a file-local function.  You should
be able to find out how it is used without running around all over
the codebase but just the single file it appears in.

The code path this function is called is triggerd when you go
verbose:

    $ git push  ../victim-00 v2.43.0-rc0~56:master
    Everything up-to-date
    $ git push -v ../victim-00 v2.43.0-rc0~56:master
    Pushing to ../victim-00
    To ../victim-00
     = [up to date]		v2.43.0-rc0~56 -> master

Do we want to make it possible to differentiate between the forced
no-op and omitted no-op from "git push -v" output, or should users
refrain from using "-v" when they want to be able to tell?
