Note that the push URL and the fetch URL, even though they can
be set differently, must still refer to the same place. What you
pushed to the push URL should be what you would see if you
immediately fetched from the fetch URL. If you are trying to
fetch from one place (e.g. your upstream) and push to another (e.g.
your publishing repository), use two separate remotes.
