* Subprocesses spawned from various git programs were often left running
to completion even when the top-level process was killed.

* When "git push" fails to update any refs, the client side did not
report an error correctly to the end user.

+ * When asking for a tag to be pulled, "request-pull" did not show the
+ name of the tag prefixed with "tags/", which would have helped older
