Check if a previous run left an inconsistent state behind.
The check is right before trying to push a new state as then
all information is available, like commit message and tag
name.
This is still only a band-aid. If gnumbd is down for a
longer period, an unprocessed commit won't be found, but
the push attempt will still fail.

This makes now the same simplification as the chromium
release scripts do. For creating branch B from a gnumbd'ed
(aka real) commit X do:
1. Branch Y off the real X
2. Set refs/pending/heads/B to Y
3. Set refs/pending-tags/B to X
4. Set refs/heads/B to X
The old algorithm tried to branch off the pending
correspondent of X. That commit was determined by comparing
tree objects of the real X and commits on pending.
Unfortunately, multiple commits on one branch can refer to
the same tree object, e.g., for commits P, Q, R with R being
the revert of Q, P and R refer to the same tree object.

This is needed as normal chromium checkouts don't fetch
branch-heads.
These branches will also be replicated by GitHub and are
fetched when cloning from the repository.
The expected object size will be the same or smaller than
before as we currently push the same information onto the
candidates branch (which already is in refs/heads). The only
difference is the increasing number of refs in refs/heads.
