Subject: [PATCH] negative-refspec: fix segfault on : refspec

Previously, if remote.origin.push was set to ":",
git would segfault during a push operation, due to bad
parsing logic in query_matches_negative_refspec. Per
bisect, the bug was introduced in:
c0192df630 (refspec: add support for negative refspecs, 2020-09-30)

Added testing for this case in fetch-negative-refspec

    negative-refspec: fix segfault on : refspec

    We found this issue when rolling out git 2.29 at Dropbox - as several
    folks had "push = :" in their configuration. I based my diff off the
    master branch, but also confirmed that it patches cleanly onto maint -
    if the maintainers would like to also fix the segfault on 2.29
