transport-helper: improve push messages

If there's already a remote-helper tracking ref, we can fetch the SHA-1
to report proper push messages (as opposed to always reporting
[new branch]).

The remote-helper currently can specify the old SHA-1 to avoid this
problem, but there's no point in forcing all remote-helpers to be aware
of git commit ids; they should be able to be agnostic of them.
