Description

When pushing a (new) ref directly (e.g. git push develop:refs/wip/develop), some hook in Gitea fails to process it properly (possibly because it's assumed to be a branch name directly). You get an error-message while pushing:

git push origin develop:refs/wip/develop
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: 2017/05/24 11:57:17 [...tea/models/update.go:147 PushUpdate()] [E] GetBranchCommitID[refs/wip/develop]: object does not exist [id: refs/heads/refs/wip/develop, rel_path: ]
To ssh://*snip*/*snip*/*snip*.git
 * [new branch]      develop -> refs/wip/develop

Git itself doesn't care and the push is successful, I am unsure about the side effects within Gitea's web-interface though.

I tested currently master. Both https and ssh are OK. Closed now and feel free to reopen it.
