push: clarify rejection of update to non-commit-ish
Pushes must already (by default) update to a commit-ish due to the fast-
forward check in set_ref_status_for_push(). But rejecting for not being
a fast-forward suggests the situation can be resolved with a merge.
Flag these updates (i.e., to a blob or a tree) as not forwardable so the
user is presented with more appropriate advice.
While updating *from* a tag object is potentially destructive, updating
*to* a tag is not. Additionally, a push to the refs/tags/ hierarchy is
already excluded from fast-forwarding, and refs/heads/ is protected from
anything but commit objects by a check in write_ref_sha1(). Thus
someone fast-forwarding to a tag is probably not doing so by accident.
Since updating to a tag is benign and unlikely to cause confusion, allow
it in case someone finds the behavior useful.
