Ooo...
Do you mean if you have refs/remotes/origin/foo locally, and
push into a repository that has refs/heads/foo (but not
refs/remotes/origin/foo), the push results in refs/heads/foo
getting updated? If that is what is happening (without any
refspecs to instruct git-push to do so) that sounds quite buggy.
I need to look into the code for this one.
And I think earlier one I was confused that I thought you were
talking about pushing into refs/heads/branch (where branch is
checked out). Sorry.

I think you are probably right in that matching only heads and
perhaps tags is a sane thing to do (even tags/ is debatable, as
they are supposed to be immutable by convention). As a matter
of fact I do not recall which part of refs/ namespace it looks
at, but it is a very old part of the system and I would not be
surprised if it silently assumed that there are only heads and
tags there (and not explicitly matching heads and tags only).
