The pre-receive hook scanned existing-branch updates with the delta range
$old..$new. On a rebase / non-fast-forward force-push onto an advanced main,
$old is no longer an ancestor of $new, so $old..$new expands to all of main's
new history — including the deliberate sandbox-escape gitleaks fixtures — and
the push is rejected on commits that belong to main, not the branch.

Unify the range on `$new --not --all` for every non-delete push (this is the
deferred open question from PRD 0028, which already applied it to new refs
for #106). It scans only the commits the push introduces and is
security-equivalent: the bare repo's refs come only from trusted upstream
mirror-fetch and gitleaks-gated pushes, so an excluded commit is
already-upstream or already-scanned. It is also more correct for
non-fast-forward pushes, where $old..$new can skip commits off the direct path.

Fixes #421
