Sandbox should not go through review, the rest should.
I know I can push it, the point was to SAVE a refspec which "just works"
- so users can always use the "push to upstream" command and it will end
up in the correct place. This is currently not possible. You need to
adjust the refspec yourself.

Yes, I know the capabilities but that was not the point ;)
