 * Lists known refs from the remote and sends objects to the remote.

 * A push connection typically connects to the <code>git-receive-pack</code>
 * service running where the remote repository is stored. This provides a
 * one-way object transfer service to copy objects from the local repository
 * into the remote repository, as well as a way to modify the refs stored by the
 * remote repository.
 * <p>
 * Instances of a PushConnection must be created by a {@link Transport} that
 * implements a specific object transfer protocol that both sides of the
 * connection understand.
 * <p>
 * PushConnection instances are not thread safe and may be accessed by only one
 * thread at a time.
