pre-receive-check-policy should catch the case where someone does 'git push
--tags' and has tags not on any branch.

I'm not sure git can be counted on to push the branches and tags in order with
the branches first for:

 git push origin --tags master

So it makes it a little tricky to do in the shell pre-receive-check-policy - we
have to "look ahead" at all the ref-updates and do the tags first. This might
require writing stdin to a temp file and then processing it twice.

See:

For an example of the problems you can get without this check.
