Sorry but I didn't reply to your previous email when you asked about a "--no- checkout[=<ref>]" compromise. I thought that Junio would reply and then I forgot about it. My opinion is that if you really want to be able to use another ref, then there should be a special "--update-ref=<ref>" or "--use-ref=<ref>" option that is different from "--no-checkout". "--no-checkout" looks like a boolean argument. And "--no-checkout[=<ref>]" may make the user think that this option will not checkout <ref>, and then it leads to the confusing question "but why would it checkout this f&#@ing ref in the first place?".
