It is kind of a cop-out, because it requires the user to do an emptying
push from time to time. But by doing that, the user will expect that
someone who pulls at that point gets an empty repository.
Note that a race between an emptying push an a ref push will result in the
emptying push winning, so the ref push is lost. This is the same behavior
as can happen in a push race not involving deletion though, and any
improvements that are made to the UI around that will also help with this.
