718 A single character indicating the status of the ref. This is
719 blank for a successfully pushed ref, <tt>!</tt> for a ref that was
720 rejected or failed to push, and <em>=</em> for a ref that was up to

730 For a successfully pushed ref, the summary shows the old and new
731 values of the ref in a form suitable for using as an argument to
732 <tt>git log</tt> (this is <tt>&lt;old&gt;..&lt;new&gt;</tt> in most cases, and
733 <tt>&lt;old&gt;&#8230;&lt;new&gt;</tt> for forced non-fast forward updates). For a
734 failed update, more details are given for the failure.
735 The string <tt>rejected</tt> indicates that git did not try to send the
736 ref at all (typically because it is not a fast forward). The
737 string <tt>remote rejected</tt> indicates that the remote end refused
738 the update; this rejection is typically caused by a hook on the
739 remote side. The string <tt>remote failure</tt> indicates that the
740 remote end did not report the successful update of the ref
741 (perhaps because of a temporary error on the remote side, a
742 break in the network connection, or other transient error).
