Cute. The error message "error: refusing to create .. locally"
is actually coming from the remote site. Locally here is
actually remotely. We *really* should change that. Its l.169 of
receive-pack.c, which is only running on the remote side. :)
Anyone game to improve that error message? Should be a pretty
simple patch. One of the may low-hanging fruits in Git.
